Copilot is junk. A total resource hog. I hate the windows 11 update. I have a beast of a machine and it slowed it down with my engineering software like I was back on a 233 pentium. And by default copilot was installed three times all running simultaneously. One from the MS 365 update. One with the windows 11 update (customer forced me to use it for “security” when I log on to their servers) and one from my hated and never used “OneDrive.”

But no. I still can’t go to linux. Nothing ports to it and the cost of the OS is trivial compared to the tens of thousands I spend for software every year. And the ironic part is all the software I use was originally ported to Unix.

When I retire linux would be just fine. But for what I do, I’m stuck. Windows 7 is still my favorite and several machines still run on that and they have been rock solid and fast all these years.
