      Simplest explanation is HDR enables more color bits per pixel so you have much higher contrast in bright and dark images. It's pretty much essential if you are using OLED panels as these can turn off pixels for a realistic/not washed out black.

      Interesting, thanks. I just assumed monitors themselves handle that.

        More and more people just need to switch to Linux and grow the userbase so more and more proprietary software create Linux builds just like how Maya and Davinci Resolve are available for Linux. If your computer is a web browser, you should be on Linux. Firefox, Chrome, Edge are all on Linux

        If you're a casual photo editor, Darktable. A casual photo editor can probably be well served with GIMP or Krita. If you're a web browser and digital painter Krita. If you edit videos, Davinci Resolve and Kdenlive. Office - OnlyOffice, Libre office, WPS Office

            Your new account will be online. Can access OneDrive and everything Microsoft Online offers. That means anyone with internet access can try to login to it so it has to be very secure.

            Windows Hello can be used for local login. But I agree with you. I would love to be able to access my Keepassxc vault during the login process. But that might be hard to archive so better to use Windows Hello.

                  That is nice, but I need the Google Play Services for push notifications on the messaging app that everyone in my country uses. It's sad, I know. If it weren't for that I wouldn't log in to a Google account on my Android phone either.

                  You don't need to log in to google for any of what you listed to work with google play services.

                    Yeah, its fucking absurd. Closest option is probably a fairphone right now. They allow a bunch of degoglified options of android and a few linux options too.

                    My mobile OS of choice is currently Lineageos for Microg. Makes all my apps work and protects me from google as good as possible.

                      I will just have to sign it up to a domain then add a local user using the command prompt. Still a lot more trouble than installing it should be but I will not give in to this garbage push to make everyone have a microsoft account. I disable the store and all of it on every PC I install.

                        if someone says linux is hard to learn, that person isn't making regestry edits.

                        That said, windows used to be intuitive, but they peaked with xp and it's been a downhill slide since.

                            I have e os based on murena. At least there they try their best to replace the google play services. If you have an old phone somewhere that does not get updates anymore you could safely try it out

                              check your options that you like

                              download your xml

                              download win 11 iso

                              put on stick with the downloaded xml file

                              install win 11

                              profit

                              I've had issues with the installer from 24H2 for my unattended. I had to use the previous versions installer and installed the 24H2 ISO.

                                Are people shocked that windows keeps removing things that allow the os to be usable and debloated?

                                Copilot recording your screen will be a non optional feature before win11 is over.

                                  Not wanting to seem like a windows fanboi in the slightest, but.. I guess they're saying that if you log in to your windows box using their cloud authentication, then they can better protect your account, force regular password changes, force password complexity requirements.. and because they're in a position to see all auth attempts against that account, they can react to attacks.. having said that. a lot of those advantages go away if you're not actually connected to the internet.. but then, you also lose automatic updates.. it's a difficult question.. I can see how it could be better for a non computer-savvy user to log in using a microsoft account, but that also makes is worse and more frustrating for advanced users who don't want to touch microsoft's cloud at all. I guess they made the decision based on what was better for the majority of users.

                                    Fairphone works in Europe, but in the US, for example, only Tmobile allows fairphones, the other carriers, while there nothing technological that prevents them fron working, the carriers being being really shit about it. And Tmovile could also become hostile with a flip of a switch. So yea, that's a huge issue, unless you want a wifi-only device.

                                    I fear in the future, devices will be more strictly locked down because of "terrorism" "scams" "fraud" or "criminial activity" that allows the authorities, worldwide, to control devices even more. Perhaps, computers could also face such lockdowns.

                                    I mean, look at drones. One harmless crash on the US whitehouse lawn triggered a lot of laws restricting them, inclusing the infamous DJI Geo-locking. One terrorisr using encrypted messaging apps to coordinate would allow governments to controll our communications.

                                    The future looks bleak. It's not even like 1984, the reality of dystopia is more subtle. People are being stalked by the government, while there are parties are happening all around, that is what dystopia looks like.

                                    China turned QR codes red to restrict people's movements on the pretenses of Covid. The US trump admin could do the same with QR code IDs to "prove you are a citizen" with checkpoints throughout the country.

                                      Or you can always pay for Wine and help it develop. Usually popular applications work well.

                                        It's also incredibly inconsistent, at least now that they're pushing more and more towards powershell.
