Windows Insider builds remain confusing, but they should be more predictable.

    Fuck Microsoft.

    And Apple,

    And all other american tech companies who bent the knee to the big orange moron.

    Install Linux. It’s free and unlike windows, getting better every month.

      I agree. The bending of the knee is the real issue at hand. Yes windows has become a mess but following Trump’s tune is unforgiveable.

      I have 3 computers at home and 2 of them are Fedora. I still need a Windows box because Wines just don’t work for the windows only apps.

          I tried bottles and it didn’t work. I haven’t tried Winboat.

          I think Bottle is also pretty steep when it comes to installing. There are too many options that I’m not sure which ones would work.

          I think I got it sorta working on the insta360 app and then the videos wouldn’t load which defeats the purpose of the app.

          I’m still running windows because it’s still the most used OS, but one foot is out the door for me.

          I also refuse to use Apple products.

    The new version of the program doesn’t seem much less confusing than the current system, as there are still a whole bunch of branches, sub-branches, and exceptions to rules

    As I read more about the new system, this was my exact thought as well.

    they do address the other major pain point of the Insider Program as it currently exists—the thing where you read about a new feature in a fresh Insider build, install that build to your PC, and then don’t actually see the feature on your system.

    It was fucking crazy that was even a thing before…
