IT administrators are "fed up" with Microsoft's "useless" apps and Windows 11

Aww so sad! Too bad they are locked into the ecosystem and Microsoft isn’t listening.

omh

It's mind boggling how bad Microsoft have made this. I just want to install a few apps and manage their settings. But the combination of Windows, Intune, modern Store apps, multiple similar settings, and licensing, make it a full time job full of footguns. If they just had one team with responsibility for end user experience they could bring this tech together in amazing ways. But instead there's probably at least one FTE is every IT department in the world just managing Microsoft's bullshit

Why is an article that consists of a reddit user as a source being upvoted on HN? Stop posting such drivel. Do better than make HN into reddit. You can find people to complain on any topic. That doesn’t make it interesting enough to post here.

IT admins don't make technology decisions. They're there to do work, no think.

The amount of work required, post installation, to make Windows usable, is one of the things that pushed me towards Linux on the desktop. I used to do a few of the regular tweaks decades ago to squeeze out the maximum frame rate of Quake, etc. but getting rid of the basic shit that I don't want modern Windows to be doing was a bigger job than tweaking old Windows for gaming. That, to me, indicates a severe bloat problem.

This may or may not be true, but that article is indistinguishable from a pretty low-effort Ai summary of three Reddit threads.

The sites breaks scrolling on the iPad. Their engineers are probably busy fixing Windows issues.

Referencing "multiple admins" and anonymous Reddit posters gives no credence to the value of this article.

I am hoping to see KDE adopting more enterprise friendly approach to things so I can start switching people over to linux. Now that they got funding for it maybe possible in a year or two? So far only Ubuntu with Gnome is friendly with entra

I have always hated working wherever they use Windows. The management at such places doesn't mind if the workers suffocate. It is a filter for where not to work, although not the only one.
