But as an #ArchLinux user, should I change my system because of this?

Mano netikėtas prisilietimas prie #Windows 11 su tikslu nustatyti naujai pajungtą spausdintuvą, kaip numatytajį pagal nutylėjimą. Rezultatas - 10 minučių nesėkmingo naršymo po nustatymus ir finale - gėdingas kreipimasis Google pagalbos.

'"Starting in April 2025, #Huawei will launch new PC models that no longer use #Windows as their default operating system. According to domestic sources cited by MyDrivers, the Guangdong-based company may soon lose the ability to sell Windows PCs to Chinese customers.

Ricoh SP C250DN druckt unter Windows 10 plötzlich mit einem extra Rand

Mein Ricoh SP C250DN druckt unter Windows 10 im Querformat nur 20,5 cm der A4-Seite, rechts bleibt ein 9 cm weißer Rand. Warum?

New versions of #Windows might change the UI or underlying components, but they don't change the only thing important to know about Windows: it's nonfree software. Choose software that actually respects its users instead. https://u.fsf.org/3eu #FSF #FreeSoftware

Wow! Windows 386 is so much more usable now in 1024x768 SVGA resolution with 256 colors. Yes, I finally found a working graphics driver! And also "yes", I have nothing better to do at 3am!
