Just tell your AI agents to reduce the RAM usage and install size by 20% and let them rip. How hard can it be?
Simple, NoPilot can just erase all your files. Binaries can’t take up memory of they can’t be loaded.
Amateurs. On my personal pc, windows RAM usage is exactly 0.
All at a time where I think I’m actually going to switch to Linux.
I just tried out an install on my laptop and boy does it work well even for gaming.
Windows has, nothing I actually need any more?
It feels really big to really leave Windows for good, but, I think it’s going to happen after a bit more testing of my Linux setup.
This is why its been announced now. With all the tracking Microsoft has in W11, including being able to track usage to an email account for most, they will have a good idea who has binned windows and who hasn’t.
Its this volume of switching that has them worried enough to actually pretend to fix things. I say pretend as its fairly obvious what they need to remove to reduce the bloat on RAM but their business it tied to it now, like concrete over boots on a mafia snitch.
Windows 11 is not based on a single unified UI framework. Instead, it uses a mix of legacy Win32 components, UWP elements, modern WinUI layers, and web-based technologies like WebView2 and React.
I am reading this as MMC snap-ins and control panel. There is no other alternative to manage these settings outside of PowerShell.
Also, what idiot decided that only one settings window is allowed open at one time? Sometimes I would like to be in Windows update, power settings, Ethernet settings, and printer settings all at once.
I hate how the settings app is taking over control panel entries to make them worse and show me the original control panel window after going down 3 levels because the stupid fucks can’t design UI for shit.
Thankfully, you can still get to a lot of them if you know the name of the control panel applet.
Apparently there’s a ton of CBT involved in doing anything in the new Settings app, so it makes sense to only bring over the things you absolutely have to and then send people to the old control panel for the rest.
Computer based training? Cognitive behavior therapy? Cock and ball torture?
That last one.
Like windows 2000 to XP or Vista to 7… 10 to 11
The eternal enshitification…
Windows 7 was IMO decent. Didn’t deviate too much from the old one, and you could still reconfigure it to have same UI style as Windows XP.
Now if you want similar UI get yourself Linux with KDE desktop
Vista to 7
enshitification
Lol, lmao even
7 was better than vista in just about every way.
Win98 good
Windows ME bad
WindowsXP good
Vista bad
Win7 good (maybe peak)
Win8 bad
Win10 OK?
Win11 bad
They decided it because there are so many duplicate Settings pages controlling the same thing.
There are over 12 different places to change USB power save settings
In an OS literally named "Windows " lol
Also, what idiot decided that only one settings window is allowed open at one time?
Microsoft engineers were worried that people missed the joys of MS-DOS and having only one application running at once. Next up, will be the return of base memory versus expanded memory versus extended memory. This ends when they devolve Windows to prove Bill Gates right that 640kB should be enough memory for anyone.
I’ve got my autoexec.bat and config.sys ready to go.
If it worked out, the idle Windows 11 RAM usage would’ve been around 4.8GB
Me on beefy Linux distro with a metric ton of garbage installed: 3.2GB
Good luck vibe coding memory efficiency…
I wish windows went down a different path. Instead they decided to double down on ads and ai, because shareholders are more important than the actual customers
Their real customers don’t see the ads with Windows 11 Enterprise and AI is controllable with Intune and GPO. You’re not the primary customer.
