I remember using windows 7 till 2021 May, i was still running the non-genuine one.

Still not updating. Linux Mint or a Macbook is my next jump.
Windows has lost its way bigtime.

Can people even update? 11 needs a special chip architecture, right?

hourly windows 11 hate thread. been using it since release, I see no ads, I don’t meet the hardware requirements for the AI tool so that wont enable, it works great and is stable.

Althought my laptop was supported Win11 and i upgraded, now i use Linux (Arch BTW).

I am hoping that the pressure from the sheer volume of Windows 10 users will encourage Microsoft to continue supporting it for another couple years, but I am not overly optimistic.

I still remember someone from Microsoft bragging that Windows 10 are the last Windows.

So, there wlll be a lot of new linux users, I guess.

I dislike the direction Windows is going, but 11 is really not that bad. You have to jump through some hoops to de-shittify it, but you have to do that with 10 anyway. At least the interface is a bit nicer.

The weekly “arrghh the last version of windows is 10x better than the new version” thread.
Been seeing these in forums/social media since the 3.1 days.
If these luddites had their way we’d still be back in the win98 (and complaining that win95 is 10x better) days based on how slowly they want things to progress.

I already replaced Windows with Manjaro and Fedora on all family laptops, all known apps like Firefox, Steam, LibreOffice, Thunderbird, Inkscape, Gimp, Scribus, Audacity, HandBrake, Krita, digiKam, Darktable, Geogebra, VLC, Kdenlive, Octave, TeXstudio… work fine and even faster on Linux. Even teachers are no longer asking kids for docx as submission format, they instead use pdf files, and they even have LibreOffice installed by default at school.

Good thing I put a personal “EoL” on *all* MS products after Win 7.
**Zero** regrets. All joy.

If win 10 is still the majority OS less than a year from today, the users dont have a problem, Microsoft does.

I feel like this would be a great opportunity for a large company like Google (with ChromeOS Flex) or Amazon (with some custom Linux or Android variant) to swoop in and “save” these users while also using the OS to deliver targeted ads directly to them just like MS does.

Linux became great with gaming since the Steam Deck release by miles. So long Windows!

This pushed into the rabbit hole of running Proxmox on my main PC, with W10 and Linux VMs, switching back and forth along my needs.
But booting W10 less and less.

Upgrade to Win 11. Legally possible without TPM and for older computers, too. Install from MS iso file with setup /product server on a running Win 10 system. Works fine.

What a shit post. lol. It’s like a version of windows had never hit end of life. Guess what, you could have said similar things when XP, Vista, Windows 7 went EOL (no one used Win8), now it’s Windows 10 turn, don’t worry, Win11 will get its chance in a couple of years.

I suspect that there are a lot more folks that don’t actually care about security updates than people seem to think.

10 was supposed to be the “forever OS”.. So much for that.

The real question is, will Southwest upgrade their systems?

Windows 11 doesn’t play well with a lot of printers and old peripherals. It’s a bloated piece of shit with unnecessarily complicated and confusing UI changes.
As much as I detest Ma OS, I’ll probably have to consider it again.
Wondering if I can simply run Windows Server on my laptop otherwise.

i have to upgrade my motherbaord just to update to windows 11 like wtf

It’s interesting how there’s no definitive end date for Windows 11, just the LTSC date for the specific versions released so far.

I’ve been using 11 since it came out with zero issues in any gaming or productivity stuff I do. I see no ads or have any problems. A lot of you just like to complain for the sake of complaining.
