So...yeah. Seems MS, in their endless wisdom has decided to rename their virtual desktop software, called before as "Remote Desktop" (and good luck trying to find issues with that that are not related to the old RDP tool MTSC.exe) to.... "Windows App". Perfect. Now everything will look like everything, and there's no way to ever try to search for help for it. Next in line, I guess they can call it just "App". I'm sure that will help everyone.

Just keep using Remote Desktop Connection aka mstsc.exe?

It's even recommended by Microsoft:

Although replacements have been released, as of the release of the Windows App, Remote Desktop Client is still recommended for use.

That's how Windows rolls out every unpopular feature.

  • Simply don't upgrade it!
  • You can prevent the upgrade with this setting.
  • You can turn off the upgrade in the control panel.
  • You can turn off the upgrade in the registry.
  • It's a different place in the registry now.
  • You can run a 3rd party app to make it stop.
  • It's always been like this and you're being weird.

That compatibility matrix, the windows app does not support connecting to Windows from Windows.... That's some amazing product planning there from Microsoft...

This is the same company that has Outlook, Outlook.com, Free email app called outlook, and New Outlook... And none of them are the same fucking thing.

I can't fucking wait to switch to Linux!

[–] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 4 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Do it.

I would highly recommend Garuda Arch, takes the pain points out of Arch, more flavours than you can shake a stick at, forums are highly active with devs and mods responding quickly to issue posts.

[–] RedditIsDeddit@lemmy.world 9 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

I'm not sure I'd recommend any flavor of Arch as a first Linux OS

[–] Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

Yeah I'm going to start with Mint. If that doesn't satisfy my inner geek I'll branch out. I've got several PC's for different uses so I wouldn't be opposed to eventually having different distros for each of those purposes.

[–] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Mint has the advantage where a lot of instructions are written with Debian or Ubuntu in mind, and thus it practically always works with Mint.

[–] Piwix@lemm.ee 1 points 4 hours ago

Sounds to me like you would really enjoy the high customization and windows-like defaults of the KDE Plasma desktop environment. Unfortunately Mint doesn't offer a KDE Plasma desktop version (although its available in its packages, its not recommended to install it on Mint). If Mint doesn't satisfy you, maybe Kubuntu or Fedora KDE would be more up your alley.

[–] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I definitely would with Garuda. Like I said, they've removed basically all of the pain points of arch. I set my 70yr old dad up with Garuda, he's been using MacOS mostly and windows for work for ages. The only thing I had to show him was how to open a terminal and type "sudo update" every few weeks. Everything else is as intuitive as any other Linux distro.

[–] Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 hours ago

I see! I'll look into that for sure!

I'm old enough to remember Outlook Express.
