SCOOBE has been a thing since Windows 10. I got hit with it again just this week on a machine that's run W10 for nearly half a decade. "Let's install O365! And move your stuff to OneDrive! And replace Firefox with Edge! And use your Android phone to connect to your PC!"

And this is why I will never build another Windows box again once I replace my VR headset, nor have I recommended Microsoft products in Enterprises for several years, now. It's still my area of expertise, but the company is - somehow - more hostile to its customers than Oracle.

Yeah, same sentiment. If at all possible, use linux on the enterprise side. Virtually all of the main domain infrastructure can be migrated. Granted, it's actually very painful, especially for those uninitiated.

So there's that.. But once it's done, I imagine life'd be much smoother for a veery long time.

		It's immensely painful if you insist on AD and Group Policy management. If you don't mind dropping that in favor of something like Centrify, or you use web-based product suites (like Google Workspaces, Nextcloud, etc), then it's a lot easier to switch.

With Valve launching a VR headset, hopefully we'll see Linux be a viable option for that

I’d guess that’s what GP was referring to. I’ll also be a day 1 preorder.

		They confirmed it is, but their reply is marked dead and vouching didn't do anything. What I'm really interested to see is if that works ends up being very Steam Frame specific, or if we also see Linux doing better for the higher end non-standalone headsets. Not that I would buy one (a GPU to run it is not in the gaming budget) I just think it would be cool to have Linux open up as an option for more use cases.
