I never cease to be impressed by the continual enshittification of Microsoft products, and the bar was pretty low to begin with.

Why would I, or anyone want this?

The blind or vision impaired would appreciate this. Past that, hard pass.

Just had a chat with a gamer friend who was ditching Windows for good and switching to https://bazzite.gg/. I'll probably do so as well. Apparently I've been needlessly scared of Linux and I had missed that SteamDeck encourages devs to make games work for Linux.
Linux has come SO far. I first tried it about a decade ago, wrecked my install, and came crawling back to Windows. A few months back, I installed Ubuntu (tease all you want, peanut gallery, it's better than Windows) on my laptop and it's so much better. It just works great, I have my system customized to how I want it to work, and the poor CPU fan is no longer blasting even when the system is idle. My battery life also gained almost an hour.

I've been using Ubuntu since 7.04, it's all Linux underneath just with a slightly different look

Bazzite is great.

A small conversation with Copilot makes my laptop choke on RAM, and that stuff is processed on cloud. No way I will allow Microsoft to run an AI locally.

I use a screen reader due to being blind, and this would be incredibly helpful. Mind you, I sure as hell wouldn't use Windows in order to get it. But if I had the option to do this on Linux, I would totally go for it.

Only available on Copilot+ PCs
Oh good, I don't have to worry about figuring out how to disable this.
*Yet
The Copilot+ moniker is only limited to a specific subset of PCs for now until all hardware on the market meets the requirements, then it's inescapable. Microsoft will have your data, and I'm all but certain of an ulterior motive beyond just that for forcing this screen capture garbage onto their userbase.
Better to prepare now and move off the MS ecosystem entirely.

Thankfully I already have for the most part. Unfortunately I'm stuck dual booting until I can find a way to run fusion 360 on Mint.
