Is this the tiling manager people talk about all the time?

Ye, Microsoft’s Head of Monetization, Nolan Sorrento, calls it “Pure O2.”
It’s called “adsomeWm”… highly un-customizinle.
somebody should do this in linux.
Funny u mention it looking for a new window manager thats wayland ready.
Just 500 years and wayland will be finally ready!
And Slackware will still be exactly the same.
Hyprland & sway come to mind
Been leaning towards sway tbh
So…… you’ve been……. swayed?
Niri looks pretty sick, too
I’m not as savvy at tech as many folk in this here platform, but I was knowledgeable in Napster and limewire in my early teens. A dabble of DOS 3.0 when I was in k-5. I thank you for letting me believe that counts for anything at all.
I log in to different computers at work. About half have updated to windows 11. I don’t know why only half. I’m not IT.
I miss XP to this day. The cosmetic features aren’t useful to me because I grew up with alt+tab and such. I can adapt. I bet there are reasons - but for me at work, it’s just a minor inconvenience in creating new “muscle memory”
I still miss xp
Edit- just give me my start menu bqck
Bold of you to assume you still get a desktop in between all the ads.
It should be off in a corner or something. Not front and center where it’s blocking the main ad.
Yeah, those ads are way to easy to ignore. Hopefully the working space randomly shifts tiles so your attention shifts periodically to the ads!
And you get jingles every few minutes that you can’t turn down or mute.
Makes you sing and dance jingle into webcam.
If you don’t sing enthusiastically enough, your files are deleted.
Bruh… don’t give them ideas
Not only does it move, but it gets covered by an ad and it has to track your eyeballs on that tile for 5 seconds before it reveals the desktop. That way, you spend a minute watching ads looking for the real desktop.
You a m$ employee??
Yeah, as if the desktop was the product
If you use Windows, you are the product.
@Diplomjodler3 @Ophioparma finished building my PC proceeded with installing Windows 11. Realized my failure. Installed PopOS. Life is so much better now.
👍👍👍
This is less intrusive than current web ads. The entire center of the screen is ad-free, no pop-ups, no banners that grey out the rest of the screen, no paywall…
In this image you could just put cardboard over all the ads to have an ad-free experience.
Ow! My Balls! is brought to you by a Carl’s Jr.
Fuck you! I’m eating!
You are an unfit mother. Your children will be placed into the custody of Carl’s Jr.
Quite optimistic view. Do you think they will be so nice and give you a completely unobstructed working area? I am pretty sure that contradicts every sane ad strategy. Where is the “Watch one minute of ads before we can start your application” window in the center? Where are the 5 identical buttons of which only one will get you to file explorer, the other ones lead to File Explorer Plus only for 5,99$ per week?
People who can build up advanced logic systems can make or adapt their own Unix-like operating system on any computer. It happened before and it’ll happen again, even if the computer uses confusing Orb stuff instead of modern bits and bytes.
Current and future Linux experience: A functional and well engineered system, built by its users, for its users, and constantly improved based on feedback from the community. Oh and if you don’t like <insert Linux distro> you can just try a different one for free and see if you like that one better.
Ow my balls!
Ow, my 3D, folded computer Orbs!
I said, SHUT UP! I’m watching “Ow My Balls!”
I get this reference.

“GO AWAY. BAITIN’!”
“Baitin’” Friggin hilarious. Judge is an American treasure.
Yes, it’s literally the OP
You mean the complex mathematical Orbs powering your computer?
I still use my bought in 2012 Photoshop CS 6, almost daily, no plans to upgrade. If i need to keep one of my PCs with windows, i won’t mind sticking to a old version for the long run
Cs6 was peak PS!
GIMPs biggest upgrade in like a decade should be coming out this year, you’ll have to check it out and see if it meets your needs when it does.
Was this meme created in MSPaint on Wine?
Would you rather they had used AI?
No, MSPaint on Wine is perfectly capable of this quality, and even meme fitting for this post. Using AI is overkill.
Uh, yeah, that was the point I was making.
This copy/paste operation brought to you by Geico. Watch this 30 second ad to unlock your clipboard.
Don’t give them ideas!
That’s any future app. And the kick in the nards is that the developer who allow it earn like $2 a day if lucky. So we all get burned on the ad hellscape having hours of time wasted for $2
Not open source apps, glad I’ve pivoted to almost entirely open source software. SaaS is cancer.
The mouse has a slight bias that it moves just a little faster towards the edges.
That you pay for just 5 dollars per month.
Or like this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifteen_Million_Merits
Can we somehow integrate ads into the display frame? Looks like dead and unused area to me.
And the decades long trend of minimizing screen bezel size suddenly reverses course.
