    At least it should result in less laptops being made with ridiculously small amounts of non upgradable RAM.

    Requiring a large amount of compute power for AI is just stupid though. It will probably come in the form of some sort of dedicated AI accelerator that’s not usable for general purpose computing.

      And remember that your data and telemetry are sent to Microsoft servers to train Copilot AI. You may also need to subscribe to some advanced AI features

        And that’s when I’ll start using Linux as my daily driver.

        Honestly installing Ubuntu is almost idiot proof at this point.

          I do agree with you, the obstacle is that there are many applications that are not available on Linux or they’re not as powerful as on Windows. As for me is MS. Excel, many of my office clients use VBA in Excel spreadsheet to do calculations.

            At least we might have a finally viable replacement in Photoshop soon. GIMP is getting NDE, Krita might be getting foreground extraction tool at some point, and Pixellator might have better tools though it’s NDE department is solid. The thing is all of them are missing something, but I’m betting on GIMP after CMYK_Student arrival to GIMP development.

            I tried adding foreground selection based on guided selection, but was unable to fix noises on in-between selection and was unable to build Krita. We would have Krita with foreground selection if it weren’t for that.
