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.

These assholes are prepping up with a cloud service with a name change like that.

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 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 4 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 7 points 4 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 3 points 4 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.

[–] Piwix@lemm.ee 1 points 2 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.

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.

[–] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 hours ago

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.

I'm old enough to remember Outlook Express.

Microsoft has the WORST product people

[–] Andromxda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 1 hour ago

Just switched to FreeRDP.

[–] wall_panel_96@lemmy.world 17 points 6 hours ago

Microsoft never ceases to amaze me with anti consumer decisions.

[–] WanderingThoughts@europe.pub 25 points 7 hours ago (6 children)

And the thing figured as I was on a corporate network, so it locked itself down and needs settings done by the office 365 administrator. They checked and apparently you need some paid tool to get it working. We're using an alternative now.

Let me tell you about deleting a resource group in azure where it thinks a non-existent resource in that group is assigned to a subnet that is also in that group.

Still laughing my ass off... Imagine trying to Google for solutions to "windows app" :) :)

But we live in a world where Muskie renamed Twitter to X, so....some serious brain damage going on all over the place.

Im starting to feel smarter now, as an effect of these guys becoming dumber and dumber, so I guess thats a plus.

Which windows app are you referring to?

[–] dditty@lemm.ee 3 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Can anyone recommend a Remote Desktop client for macOS, preferably something free and with tabs?
