Even tho my pc can run windoes 11, still running linux on it.
[Serious question] Did Microsoft need to fundamentally change something, and that is why they back tracked on their Win10 evergreen promise? Or is this just a cash grab?
They started requiring the use of motherboards with a TPM. Which is compete and utter bullshit because you need to disable the chip to dual-boot, yet Windows 11 will run for several months at a time with the chip disabled before it complains and forces you to temporarily turn it back on again. So requiring it for “security” is just an excuse to force you to buy new hardware.
Didn’t they say at one point that windows 10 would be the last windows version as they are switching to a rolling release model?
That was just the tech weenies with their ‘architecturally sound strategy’ or whatever, before the business side
beattalked some sense into them.Which MS didn’t deny until they announced they were working on Win 11.
Well, they actually always had an End-of-Life date slated for 2025. But yeah, it wasn’t clear, if that was there just in case, or if they never expected to go through with what they’d been telling people.
Use Windows 11

I honestly get so sick of this cult on Lemmy. Your PC is running slow? Install Linux! Some company does something shitty? Try Linux! Sprained your ankle? Have you heard of Linux?
I have Linux installed, I still end up on Windows most of the time because I don’t have the time and patience to manually set up and configure every single thing I do on my PC, also, I like to play a lot of games and use a lot of programs that all become a choir to run if they even do on Linux.
I’m with the other guy you’re downvoting, I’m staying on 10.
Edit: I’m not going to respond to you all individually, a lot of really dumb shit has been said to me, but in particular I want to address the reccuring theme of my “being here” and “leaving”. I’m not here, I just browse All and see a ton of these posts. I don’t really subscribe to anything on Lemmy. Also, I don’t even hate Linux, I just hate your cult like mentality and the way you guys shoehorn it into every discussion, as stated previously, I have Linux installed and have used several different distros over the years.
Go ahead, also the !linuxsucks@lemmy.world community is this way for complaints.
W10 has gotten to a point to where it’s alright but not amazing (particularly because SSDs are more standard as OS drives, and can handle the constant read/writes Windows 10 does to it). Feel free to stay but we’ll still be here to support you, when you’re ready to dive in fully, when Microsoft inevitably leaves you behind in support.
W11 is a spyware riddled mess. People need to be made aware of alternatives so they think it’s not the only option when W10 support is dropped.
