Microsoft’s announcement: “We are introducing a new Game Pass recommendation card on the Settings homepage. The Game Pass recommendation card on Settings Homepage will be shown to you if you actively play games on your PC. As a reminder – the Settings homepage will be shown only on the Home and Pro editions of Windows 11 and if you’re signed into Windows with your Microsoft account.”
What kind of therapy do I go to if I’m in an abusive relationship with my Operating System?
There are Ubuntu versions that look very similar to the Microsoft
Linux user for a long time, actually. I like Q4OS for myself, it’s also Debian based and it puts very little in front of the user to start so I can customize a little more
It’s a group therapy called [email protected], we always have free seats!
My last Linux dual-boot install was trying to apply Conversion Therapy to me and corrupted my windows boot records. Finally got it resolved, but what a nuisance.
I heard they have specialized clinics in Antarctica for that situation.
Penguin therapy for the win
If you don’t want to think about your computer and just want a tool to use there is Aurora. It’s a variant of fedora but it uses an immutable file system which makes it super stable and reliable. If there are any issues you can easily roll back the entire os to a previous version.
This is true of all fedora atomic desktops. Aurora is a variant that takes it to the next level by making all updates and everything require as little human interaction as possible so you don’t have to worry about how the computer runs and just use the computer for your actual tasks.

Why would anyone use this over Silverblue?
They advertise as being zero maintenance which is a huge deal with many windows and Mac users than don’t want to think about the tool itself, they just want to use it. From the site:
What’s the difference between Vanilla Kinoite and Aurora? Vanilla Kinoite is a very stock experience. Aurora includes many enhancements and tweaks, like included drivers for various printers, network adapters and more as well as included codecs. Aurora also features tweaks to enhance your battery life on a laptop.
Hmmm alright I guess I’ll take your word for it. My experience with Silverblue/Kinoite is that it’s already pretty close to zero maintenance if you choose.
By zero maintenance they mean you don’t even have to hit the update button. It all just happens automatically. Many Linux users won’t like that but many windows and Mac users will.
Self-harm?
No.
Then you deserve so much than Windows has to offer, you can do so much better, Windows does not deserve YOU!
That’s not a funny joke
