Ugh. I'm going to have to seriously look at Linux, aren't I?
Absolutely no idea where to start with that, nor whether any of the software I need for work (or indeed anything else) is compatible, not how I'm going to find the time to learn all this.
Bleugh π
EDIT - Just want to say thanks to everyone for all the helpful tips and advice below. Will make it my mission this summer to at least understand Linux better and work out if it's for me. Cheers, you lovely people π
Ubuntu is the typical go-to replacement for Windows as it's arguably more plug-and-play than other distros.
alternativeto.net is a great place to find Linux alternatives to the software you use. Many products already work on Linux without switching, but some areas might be more difficult. For example depending on your needs you might not find a great drop-in replacement for Photoshop.
Linux Mint is one of the most recommended for newbies.
You can use a live CD/USB to try it out without installing.
I'm getting annoyed with windows.. I have a small laptop I like to use for streaming, and the stupid updates keep on maxing out the drive space.. It is 32gb, and i can't get it to download the updates on an external drive. I wish they'd have an option to turn off automatic updates, and just let me do a single click and download the updates manually to an external drive so i can have a usable goddamn computer.
Microsoft claimed that Windows is compatible with 32gb drives but that's not actually true. Those will get automatically filled by winsxs updates within a few hours. It's impossibile to use one of those windows mini PC with a 32gb emmc unless you exclusively use it offline for typing with a word processor.
All those $100 32gb emmc "computers" available on Amazon are just "direct to landfill" ewaste
Windows 11 is the most secure Windows ever built
They've been saying that about every single one since that notoriously insecure one. ME, I think?
Also, I'm pretty sure that Tiny11 or the like is more secure if you consider data privacy important, since a lot of the privacy issues of Windows 11 are coming from the unnecessary parts of Windows itself..
Infuriating for sure. People canβt afford groceries or rent and Microsoft chooses to ride in with a, by the way, your computer needs to go, just buy a new one, k?
Windows 10 LTSC is supported until 2032, and is free to pirate.
The only thing turning. To waste is the motherboard right? It sucks, but throw out a whole computer because of a motherboard is a wacky move.
Thatβs assuming the user knows that and didnβt just buy a prebuilt tower from Costco, and that it isnβt a laptop or something where changing the motherboard is much harder if not impossible.
The only thing turning to waste is the OS. You can still use anything else fine.
Well if you have to throw out the motherboard, thereβs a high chance you have to replace the cpu too.
The problem is more the CPU than the motherboard. But upgrading the CPU might also mean upgrading the motherboard and maybe RAM.
Might also be ram compatibility problems
Yeah once windows 10 is done I'm moving to Linux. Use mint on the laptop but I'll install it on my main PC unless valve launches steam os
I want steamOS too, but Ive been dual booting bazzite for a couple of weeks and I love it.
I recommend you to use a regular Linux distro for your PC, SteamOS is always going to focus on handheld devices which may not provide de best possible experience for desktop. Bazzite seems to be the hot Linux gaming distro at the moment, it's based on Fedora (my personal favorite, also a good option for gaming IMO). Maybe, give this one a try ?
They're not even ashamed of intentionally creating e-waste for people that don't know that Linux exists
Theyre not ashamed of anything
recycle it
Haha, like in the landfill or the incinerator?
No no no
You dump it in some third world country, out of sight out of mind
I for one will be looking forward to getting mid-spec PCs dirt cheap.
Windows 11 is the most secure Windows ever built, with comprehensive end-to-end security
Does "end-to-end security" actually mean anything in this context, or is it just intended to evoke "end-to-end encryption"?
It says 'comprehensive' can't get more clear than that, right? Right?
By "end-to-end" they refer to how deep they fuck you in terms of security.
"Trade it"
TO FUCKING WHOM? The whole point is that you made it useless.
(Unless this is Microsoft providing some free advertising for Linux)
Probably going to be a ton of cheap used computers on the market in the near future for installing Linux on
Every now and then a little devil on my shoulder says "you should set up a cluster computer that serves a secondary function as a smart space heater" and it's gonna be really hard to ignore if the deals are good enough.
I took the last message I got from them as an invitation to ditch Windows for Linux. Now I wish I did that earlier!
They act like the computer's just going to stop working or something... People are going to use win 10 out of support for years.
E: specifically note, please, that i said "act". I'm aware they state it will keep working in the little FAQ.
Meh, I just saw this banner on my Win 10 desktop, which is not compatible with Win 11, I'll just put Linux on it.
Isn't Windows 10 suppose to be the last Windows release? We changed our minds.
