Huge respect for not putting Ubuntu
is this real? windows 10 literally came out yesterday
Remember when W10 was going to be the last windows you'd ever need.
Yes, it’s the last version of Windows I’ll ever need.
Yep, not moving on. I still have a lot of things to figure out though. Unfortunately windows is easier for a lot of things but I'm completely done.
Oh, I meant I’m going to use a different OS after 10.
This is linuxmemes after all...
To be fair, that is entirely accurate. It is the last windows I will ever need because I switched to linux.
On released they didn't know yet how far they can push that telemetry shit down their users' throats. I bet, 11 is better optimized for that. And eventually, it'll be Win365 OSaaS anyway...

But what's an ᗋR𝖢ꔠ?
You just summoned a demon
No I think it's a daemon they summoned. Maybe the notification daemon?
Btw

70% of the market. Half of those computers can't even run windows 11. Good to see Microsoft taking charge in the fight against the environment by asking tens of millions of people to throw away their perfectly good computers and buy new ones
I can't wait for some new bargain Linux machines.
For real. I'm genuinely trying to grasp why. Is it seriously just so they can require secure boot and then say Windows 11 is secure from ransomware even though that's a feature of the motherboard and not the OS?
They have added so much ad stuff and other garbage that the OS is slowing down, to combat the user perception that the OS is slow they have increased the hardware requirement.
The home-user PC market has been hit HARD by smartphones and tablets. Suburban families no longer have a desktop in a home office plus a laptop for each member of the family. They may have a laptop, and it's probably a Mac.
This decision is too make people buy new devices or upgrade to an OS that has a lot more tracking built in.
Microsoft is pressing AI and other data-scraping tech hard, but they're necessarily going to have to have enterprise and government licenses that allow admins to block those features for legal and security reasons.
So they desperately need new home users they can data-mine.

Windows 10 LTSC 2021 edition has support until January 13th 2032.
I'd obviously prefer if more people gave Linux a try but if you're literally forced to use Windows then it's probably your best option right now.
If my Nvidia graphics card played nicely, I would.
It's my #1 complaint with Linux... Well Nvidia.
Progress in that regard is actually pretty rampant lately, I can imagine by the time Windows 10 is EOL it will be no different from AMD.

So...
Windows 10: the "last" windows version
Release Windows 11, requires specific hardware that you can't realistically add to your existing PC. But Windows 10 will keep being updated
Windows 10 is not getting anymore updates
Love it, no notes.
To be fair, my understanding is the "10 is the last version" idea came from a developer speaking in an unofficial capacity and the media ran with it. It may have never been true.
While that is technically true, Microsoft didn't really make any effort to correct the misunderstanding, despite it being a widely reported story in tech.
I suspect they had a legitimate faction that was going to say "rolling release" and so they let it go.

Let's be honest, real nerds use Gentoo

I started my Gentoo compile in 2008. It should be ready by next October.

a good starter distro but ideally you should make your own from scratch so you know what's in it
Honestly you're not a real one until you've written your own kernel entirely

Linux mint cinnamon but cool cool
I like how they end support for OS without providing an upgrade for a lot of people. Might as well put a Linux ad in their "Your PC is not supported" bullshit.

btw
All these gaming anti-cheats better become Linux compatible cause I'm definitely not upgrading to 11
Anti cheat is about the only thing that doesn't work but I see that as a bonus. Anti cheat is more like a virus than it ever has been with the rootkit thing.

All jokes aside, after hearing that EOL is coming to Win10 this October, I have decided over the summer, before fall quarter is in and I'm back to start my 2nd year of college, that I would definitely be taking everything I need/want off of my desktop and switch to something like mint or MX because of how simple and user friendly they've been to me as someone who's only been using Linux for maybe 2-3 years. Only things I would I need are dedicated time and personal drive to pull that off and a new external drive for storing all my files.
