Those of you who still use windows for one reason or more, where do you draw the line about the shitty things microsoft is doing? By drawing the line I mean using some other operating system no matter how bothersome it might be.

Not judging or anything, i’m just curious where the general mindset is about it.

    were me I’d be tempted to put up with Windows until something forced a change.

    I’ll get to it eventually before it breaks :) Of all the windows needs, that’s the lowest hanging fruit.

    Home Assistant already draws feeds from the cameras in tandem, so the alerts themselves could be replaced easily, but getting the offending image and the pixel barriers would require Frigate. I’ll probably build it up in a container and pass through a USB Coral

      You may not even need the Coral. I moved from a old system with an ancient CPU and usb Coral to a small laptop with a Intel N200 processor. With Frigate running in Docker the N200’s object detection is just as fast as the Coral with almost no impact on CPU utilization.

        If I could do it fast enough, the windows laptop has a decent mobile gpu

        But I kinda want to do it in a VM, and i’d rather pass through the coral than suck up the cpu cycles on the box from the other vm’s
