It is funny how they complain but don't leave. It's just a bad relationship.
aye lets just keep putting up with ever increasing bullshit instead of going through mild discomfort once to get used to a new os.
i heard apple has a huge marketing budget though. lets all switch to apple im sure it will be better and that no other viable alternative exists.
Trash filler article, TLDR use Rufus to make installation media 🙄
Rufus.
Wake me when I get 11 without the anal probing and walled garden.
What about my anal probing?
Just spreading the good word for those still stuck/attached to Windows. You can get W11 IoT Enterprise LTSC which has no bullshit. Would be a shame to waste time looking for it, and a permanent activation on websites such as massgravedotdev.
Edit: this version is FANTASTIC for gaming. Doesn't even have Xbox or M$ Store bloat. Feels like PC gaming back in the XP and 7 days.
I wonder if LTSC won't have recall.
The IoT Enterprise LTSC won't have recall or copilot. It gets Edge and that's it.
Wasn't that one expensive or hard to get?
Its hard to get, but I'm not sure about pricing, since they only sell it via business volume licensing.
Yes but, then I'd have Win11 installed.
Then that comment isn't for you.....
Is it windows 10?
All consumers should be off 10 by now
Windows 10 still works fine and a lot of what 11 disqualified was perfectly capable hardware.
Those people would be in n Linux by now
The EOL hasn’t been a secret
I'm guessing the majority of those people barely know how to work a computer.
For example, I'm either going to need to swap my mother's computer over to something Linux or give her something supported. Not currently sure which but since everything is web based anyways, I think Linux would be ok for her.
If it were up to her, she will use it well out of support before buying a new laptop.
Just set my MIL up on Linux Mint. The two things she uses her computer for are email and web browser, so it doesn't make any difference to her.
Right, but you had to do it for her. Not a huge deal, but still something nonetheless.
A new windows computer I would have had to set up for her as well.
