So what are the hidden features? The article doesn’t say and I scrolled through all the comments and nothing popped out at me other than a bunch of comments of people bashing windows and sucking their own dicks over Linux?
Average lemmy thread
You’re god-damned right.
sucking their own dicks over Linux
This one trick explains why people who use Linux love it so much!
Shit I must be missing a kernel module
sudo modprobe i-can-do-it-myself
Is there a hidden tool for that?
Only sudo and you’re good to
gosuckIt’s called
fsck. It does both at the same time.You rang? 😁
So, hum… sex workers hate this one trick ?
This is what i came for, i wanted to know what these features are. Thanks for saving me a click
The hidden features are flags that Microsoft enables or disables for random users as part of A/B testing. The article contains a link to the various flags that can be enabled depending on your edition and version of Windows.
Afaik it’s a tool to interact with an API to override A/B testing in an official way.
Apparantly some tool already exists that does it. Just not the official way.
We getting to the point where some Linux distros are objectively better systems… all around. Having way less issues with PopOS than I did with Win11
True, I’ve been using NobaraOS and have no problems at all, I moved my mom from windows to ZorinOS and she only noticed because her laptop no longer “freezes up” randomly, and I’m talking about a surface book that runs better on Linux than on Windows. Gotta love the irony

Check if your games run on Linux here, you may be surprised: https://protondb.com
I use mine for gaming and shit posting… only anti cheat triple AAA does not work like new BF and CoD, everything else runs great or fine.
The bad news, for me at least, is yes I can get most games to run fine. Skyrim, cyberpunk, Sims 4 etc. The issue is modding. Sims 4 is excluded from this as you littlery just drop .package files in the mod folder and just works. But games like cyberpunk and Skyrim…you often need external tools/injectors/animation riggers etc for a lot of the 'good stuff’s. And getting those tools to work properly can be a nightmare.
Why do those tools work differently on Linux if the games are fine? At most a script extender would need is a Microsoft Dell and don’t those come with wine or whatever?
Honestly asking. I use Windows. But if games work I’ll switch.
They can use any number of extra libraries and such. Idk I’m not a programmer. But I’ve certainly tried. Though tbh it’s been. A while. Sadly I dual boot just for the games that I mod that require a bunch of external tools to mod. I don’t have the time anymore to try and force em. A me problem yes.
Yup, just moved to Mint on my laptop since I’ve been getting some issues with Windows draining the battery quick despite it being in “good health” according to Dell, and just general performance hiccups across Windows.
Super low CPU and RAM usage, snappier performance for word processing and surfing, and a longer battery life? With no tracking features to boot? All for free? Hell yeah I’ll move over to Linux lol.
I just want it to stop self-destructing every two hours when I’m running it as a VM under Linux.
They really think ppl give ah fuck?
Does it make Windows 11 not total dogshit?
Oh wait, no, it’s still Windows 11.
Does the calendar taskbar flyout count as a hidden feature? Perhaps it would be more useful to leak a tool that can disable windows features. Ads, internet-spam, gutter-news, etc.
But mainly I just want the calendar agenda back in the taskbar.
Using Windows is cringe
