This is going to have a much bigger impact on the third would countries.

Most people here are not going to buy a new computer there are tons of people who buy second hand laptops that are old to be able to afford them.

Additionally people are not tech savvy and don’t understand the implication of this. When they see an ad that says to buy a new computer, they are going to dismiss it the same way they dismiss all the other ads online telling them to buy stuff.

Have my second pc on running Linux mint for about half a year now and it’s been a pleasure so far.

I think I’ll be prepared to switch over fully in a year.

So fucking refuse to switch over to 11

I only have one computer that can run 11 because of the TPM module, it upgraded by accident.

All others will run linux

Pretty telling when the only way you can get your users to "upgrade" is by stealth. I wonder what the % of involuntarily upgraded win11 users is vs people who knowingly and willingly did so.

I don't think they think about the user at all.

They want that telemetry/ad money baby!

Still waiting for Fedora to get VR support

I'd rather pay for security updates than invite more AI and Microsoft sponsored spyware onto my computer...

Win10 LTSC still has quite a few years left.

It’s not available for individual consumers though unless you pirate it, isn’t it? (which makes it perfectly good reason to pirate it)
