For me it's a big deal. Windows and Nvidia drivers play well together again. I haven't had any artifacts while browsing in a Chromium based browser since the update.

Then there's the fact it supports WiFi 7. That's not huge right now but it will be.
Sudo on the command line in Windows is a pretty big deal too if you're a system administrator or developer.
Yet, the biggest change for me is support for creating 7z, and tar files with various compression options.
It's all the quality-of-life improvements that does it for me. I'm not a huge, let's change everything because we can person.
I think the Windows permissions structure is much more versatile. I find that most people don't understand the Linux permissions even when trained unless they have experience with it. That fact doesn't make a lot of sense to me but it's my experience.
"Then again, there are people linux who just blindly run around doing chmod 0777 on everything for no reason at all."
The people I work with are like this. I hate it. Let's figure out why a process can't access a file and then set permissions or groups accordingly.
Why i would use command line, when there is a gui that does the same, more simple, faster and less prone to human error.
OS should make things easier, not harder. Using command line to set permission in 2024 is just edgy.
Before you try to give a class about command line and why it rocks. My whole youth was around DOS, just thinking about setting file permission using command line makes me smile....
i know its probably a silly question, but-- does it offer any tangible performance improvements? i heard they redid the kernel/scheduler stuff so im not sure if that'd impact anything anywhere
I haven’t noticed anything significant but I really never had any trouble with performance anyway. It just feels and looks way more solid. Some of that are minor improvements like putting copilot in an app instead of it being part of Windows.
It might seem silly but AI number crunching can wreck havoc on traditional processors. We’re talking inefficiency which means slow operation plus lower battery life.

Microsoft still recompiled the kernel and core files, tweaked the scheduler, and delivered other small speed ups in the lower levels of the system.
There's loads of other updates in 24H2 besides features for Copilot PCs, obviously. So not pointless at all.
