Only to login and see rhat they actually didn't restart. They just said so because they think you wont find out 😂

A CD-Rom with Windows ME. only took me 2 hours after buying to break it in pieces. It hung in the computer store for years as a trofee 😂

Thats because a lot of users dont really want to use Windows, or the computer in general. They use it, because they have to.

For the same reason, i would never know what to do when my car breaks down. Sure i can look under the hood and do this and that. But its not my area of expertise, and its not something im interested in.

I'm a sysadmin, i know almost everything about powershell and then some. That doesnt mean my users do though. For them, a computer is a magical black box thats supposed to "just work" by clicking here and there. Just like a car is to me :)

Yes, you can. But a lot of Windows users dont even know what powershell is.

And personally i think you shouldnt have to jump through hoops for what i consider basic functionality. They also make it near impossible to install Windows 11 new without having to resort to all kind of tricks to create a local account. Its a shitshow.

In my humble opinion :)

It'll happen. Microsoft is just waiting to see how much backlash they get, then in a future version its all gonna be enabled by default. "Because people want it! Its the best!"

I run KVM on Alpine Linux, then on my debian based workstation i have Virtmanager jnstalled. I can use it to connect to the Alpine KVM and easily add/edit/delete VM's and manage them.

Ahh, never knew that!

I thought Windows wouldn't let you save it to the same drive? Its been a while, granted. But i had to plug in a USB or print it out.

My favorite Server OS is Alpine Linux. Because its small, easy to use.

Ofcourse its not using the standard GLIBC system, but these days you can run almost anything in docker so thats less of a problem.
