When I looked into this I found that, for TrueNAS, using ZFS with RAW disks is generally preferable.

I wound up writing custom firmware to my hardware RAID card so that it would be effectively “transparent” and yield direct hardware access to the disks.

That’s quite a headline they’ve got there!

After provisioning a PC with a Windows 11, version 24H2 monthly cumulative update released on or after July 2025 [KB5062553], various apps such as StartMenuExperiencehost, Search, SystemSettings, Taskbar or Explorer might experience difficulties.

This will occur for the following: First time user logon after a cumulative update was applied. All user logons to a non-persistent OS installation such as a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) or equivalent as application packages must be installed each logon in such scenarios.

If you are wondering, provisioning essentially is the way admins configure devices as they automatically deploy various settings and policies on a client PC. So while the issue is in office PCs, considering a huge number of enterprise PCs are Windows, this is probably a very big problem.

Or perhaps it could be something other than malice?

This person is putting up with a misbehavior they don’t have to live with. They’re presenting the perception that it’s due to the nature of the operating system.

My Toyota engine dies when I idle, therefore all Toyotas and fundamentally flawed.

Flawed logic, no? And yet, when it comes to tech, plenty of folks apply the same type of thought pattern.

You’re right that one would think the issue is as it seems on the surface. Computers are actually a bit more complicated than that.

One fail mode of memory is the occasional bit flip silently corrupting data in the background. As time goes on and new data is written to a disk, things can get weirder and weirder over time.

We don’t know if Windows and Linux are sharing a physical disk (I hope for their sake they aren’t) and we don’t know how old the Linux deployment is, so it’s possible it hasn’t had the opportunity to get progressively messed up enough yet.

Another key variable is that the Linux environment might not be interacting with every single piece of hardware, or that the structure of those interactions could result in symptoms manifesting differently or not at all.

I’ve had situations where a MacBook’s keyboard and trackpad were completely functional in Linux and Windows, but absolutely dysfunctional in any MacOS based environment. The fix? Replacement trackpad cable.

At the end of the day, the situation they’re describing is not common for the OS and indicates something is very wrong.

There’s plenty to complain about with Windows, but if this were a typical experience people would not be putting up with it.

A device with those symptoms coming through my shop is statistically likely to be leaving with replaced parts, a component level repair, or at the very least a complete OS and Driver reinstallation after passing extensive diagnostic testing and behavioral isolation.

This is not a typical experience, you have some kind of hardware issue or corruption / incongruities in your OS deployment.

Having both on a different connection is essential!

If you have a spare router, you could connect it via ethernet to the host and then connect your client to that WiFi.

Host would then be able to maintain its internet connection over WiFi and there would be a separate dedicated LAN just for the stream.

That’s surprising to hear, for me the latency is not noticeable even over WAN. We’ve had VR capable streaming for years now, and area where latency issues cause physical sickness.

You might have a network level issue. Gigabit ethernet to the host, WiFi 5 or better for the client, QoS configured to prioritize both devices in the router settings?

With a strong internet connection and more capable desktop device, you can already stream for hours with high fidelity graphics, 60+ FPS, and no fan noise.

With that in mind, buying a new Steam Deck is probably going to be multiple generations off for me.

The recommended mitigation is the use of TPM and a PIN, which is going to apply to any machine where the user went “with the flow” during Windows 11’s OOBE

Correct

Save-a-click:

This beta version of the app makes it so that when you send just a URL, the recipient only sees the preview (primary image, page title, primary domain of web address) That preview gets a color stylization to match the page and the font is different.

Windows 10 didn’t “die”

Microsoft isn’t offering support for it, but their help was barely useful to begin with.

There’s a few small hoops to jump through to enroll in the Extended Security Updates program, after which Windows 10 devices will continue to be functional and secure for at least another year.

Ultimately, I’m all for folks going out and dabbling in Linux. Unfortunately, most consumers are interpreting this situation as a requirement to rush out and buy a new Windows 11 PC and that’s bad.

If your CPU supports TPM2.0 and tou set up Windows using a Microsoft Account, your OS Volume is likely to be encrypted with Bitlocker.

Most of Gen Z are in their twenties and capable of thinking for themselves. Generally speaking, they’ve grown up accustomed to and accepting of neurodivergence, gender fluidity, and the spectrum of sexualities.

It’s the younger and older generations I’m more worried about.

It’s 2025, most people have had a secondary pocket computer with internet access for the last 15 years.

Would definitely appreciate a more verbose panic page, but I’m not sure that information exists at the instant of the panic - the percentage is the system compiling a crash dump.

I navigate Windows almost entirely through keyboard shortcuts, ‘run’ commands, and the search box

Familiarity with any OS takes time

I don’t have a direct answer to your question, but expensive premixes aren’t really necessary outside of achieving a certain aesthetic.

Distilled water, biocide and corrosion inhibitors. Make sure your metals are all compatible.

For the majority of my clients who use this kind of system, it is totally dysfunctional.

Most of the records are incorrect, my guess is that they occasionally reset the password on mobile while the book is inaccessible and then don’t remember to update it in the book later.

Effective use relies on the user’s understanding of umbrella accounts. I’ve had users have separate written entries for “Office”, “Skype”, “Hotmail”, and “Windows” because they don’t understand those things are all one Microsoft Account.

As passwords get updated, it can become a mess of crossed out records with new ones squished into the margins. When a someone dies, anything written illegibly can be difficult for surviving family to discern. As the book gets filled out, it can get tricky to keep things alphabetized unless the user provisioned additional empty space between records.

This system can work great for someone who is meticulous, neat, and organized.

For your average person, I’ve had better luck solving the problem with a password manager synced to an online account that is protected by MFA and has recovery options that are also protected by MFA.

* for the tech inclined

Managing sync between mobile and desktop is a bit more complicated than average consumers have the patience for (it’s really not very complicated, average consumers are just impatient)
