Yeah just who exactly out there can you go to, to simply 'trade in' a computer? It's not like a car where you trade in a car for another car.

I don't really see an awful lot of computer trade-in programs, they aren't just going to give you a beefy PC with Windows 11 on it for a computer you've ran a good 5 or more some odd years with Windows 10.

While I agree this is a shit thing to do, I am looking forward to the influx of cheap hardware.

Isn't Windows 10 suppose to be the last Windows release? We changed our minds.

[–] [email protected] 181 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Correction: it's MY last Windows release. I invite it to be yours too.

Weird hill to die on perhaps; but I'll never forgive Microsoft for arbitrarily deciding to not support my Core i7 6700K 4Ghz CPU on Windows 11.

Simply because: I cannot find a single actual technical reason why it wouldn't be compatible (yes, my mobo also has TPM). It's even higher specced than many other 'supported' chips.

MS apparently just decided I hadn't spent enough money lately. Well now I won't - on your products - ever again, while this i7 will continue to run Win 10 for games and Linux for all else.

Gaming is great on Linux nowadays btw. I installed Fedora a few weeks ago and haven't had a single problem with any of my games - I'm getting better framerates, too.

I mean, what do you expect them to say?

"Time to install Linux, here's how you chose a kernel:"

[–] [email protected] 97 points 1 week ago (5 children)

"Trade it"

TO FUCKING WHOM? The whole point is that you made it useless.

(Unless this is Microsoft providing some free advertising for Linux)

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 week ago (6 children)

Probably going to be a ton of cheap used computers on the market in the near future for installing Linux on

This is the biggest garbage a tech company did to almost 256 million PCs in use and fully working. I installed Linux Mint on all three PCs I own. Free and works far better than I thought.

I took the last message I got from them as an invitation to ditch Windows for Linux. Now I wish I did that earlier!

I love how in a world where we banned straws we are somehow OK with Microsoft pushing people to recycle their old but otherwise adequate system for what, to the vast majority of people, are some paper thin security advantages.

Anybody who asks me about Windows 10's EOL date will be introduced to the option of using Linux before i'll help them select a replacement system. Especially if they literally only use a browser there really is no reason to go through hoops or spend money to stick with Windows.

Trade it in or recycle it with local organizations

And what are those organizations expected to install on systems that can't support Windows 11, Microsoft? What are they expected to install exactly?

Goodbye Windows, Hello Linux

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..
