Wait... They didn't do this already?
Then it should be free
Nice of Microsoft to give Linux a popularity boost
6% marketshare here we go!
That’s one watchlist I will not be on
Switch to Linux, be done with microshit
And this is why I finally dumped Windows on my personal devices. My work laptop is the only machine I use that still runs Windows, and I literally never touch it at home unless I work from home (extremely rare).
I'm even raising my kids with Linux - the "family computer" (an ancient A1278 Macbook Pro from 2009) they use for homework runs Linux Mint, and does so really well.
When going Linux just keeps printing dividends years later...
Microshit has lost its fucking mind but I guess after they saw what Tim and Sundar got away with, they got big jellly.
Deny the parasite engagement and profit. Don't fund your oppresors
Just switch away from the Garbage on your private computer
Go atomic instead, assuming your needs are relatively limited. Here are the Fedora variants:
- Silverblue - GNOME
- Kinoite - KDE
- Budgie - Budgie
That way you don't have to care about what's going on under the hood, you just install your apps as flatpaks and you're off to the races.
Oh, good lord. Have you met my 82-year old father?
Set him up with the KDE Environment. It's quite similar to Windows
He probably only uses a web browser, so as long as you make it look familiar, he probably wouldn't notice.
I set up my 80 year old mother with linux
So glad I don’t use Windows anymore. Microsoft has lost the plot.
Microsoft never had any different plot, it was always about this, from the very start.
