I’m switching to Linux before I ever touch win11
Just got a W11 laptop new from work, (replacing a dead W10 machine). It is such a mess. It is trying hard to be a modern desktop like KDE Plasma or GNOME, but without a cohesive setup. And bluescreened twice already, had a WebApp faikure error, and locked up completely another time at login. This is brand-new Out of the Box.
Lmao epic, thanks windows
I don’t think that the people still on windows 10 are in a hurry to upgrade. I suspect that either they don’t want to or are not aware of the risk of outdated security updates. So in the end it probably will come down to whether those people need an actual hardware upgrade or not.
Yeah this is captured by the “need” with a bunch of up votes in this thread… The average person just doesn’t “get it.”
local AI is cool and all, but neither the hardware nor the models are really ready for your average consumer
“Need”
Every person I know either already has a Windows 11 ready device, or doesn’t know what an OS is. In the later case, I doubt they would trust themselves to buy a new laptop, rightfully tho. Luckily we have a bunch of old laptops from work, Win 11 compatible. Nobody will buy a new Laptop in my village!
Hi there. Nice to meet you. I am a person. My desktop computer’s motherboard is from 2009ish and only has BIOS, no UEFI. I cannot upgrade it to Windows 11 because of this. I know what an OS is.
And for those tech-savvy, or with tech-savvy family members, you can put Win11 on basically any PC. It may run like this, but all the requirements can be disabled.
This is my plan since I couldn’t make my lan (vpn) work in linux for the emulators and games I use
the expected increase in prices next year is hastening that timeline in the u.s.
