Sure. And windows 10 will be the last version of windows (official Microsoft language).

Whelp, guess they are finally going to push me into using Linux after all these years. I'm not paying for another damn subscription.

Yay! The more Microsoft makes stupid anti-consumer moves, the more Linux becomes a viable option to business and consumers, the more investment goes to Linux development.

I already run linux on everything except my gaming PC. Probably a good point to pull the trigger on that last one.

Someone should try to hack their subscription model with a negative payment, see if they can get M$ to pay the user instead 😂🤣

For real though, I've been running Linux Mint as my daily runner since either 2015 or 2016, hell with Windows anymore.
