Rant My massive fail on Windows 11 - GoFuckYourself.com

blackmonsters · Today, 10:22 AM

After a decade of using Ubuntu on my old computer, I'm using windows on my new computer and can't even get Outlook to download email from my server.
"You may need an App pass". Huh?
This works easy on Ubuntu with Thunderbird email.

I feel like I'm a first time computer user on W11.
There is so much stuff in my face that I'm overwhelmed.
McAfee keeps popping up. You have to pay to use MS Word? WTF?

I'm thinking about the happy people around me who don't own a computer.

Sorry to hear - seemed easy for me after a few questions. The windows you have is one thing did it include office or a paid office?

I have no clue. I bought a new computer 2 years ago and only now trying to use it.

Did you spend 15 years without using any MS products?

I read my email using Alpine on a Unix box via SSH. Kept me largely safe for years now.
