Damn, that sucks. When does my Arch support end?

NuanceOkay if you wanna get technical, some folks define support as meaning some sort of official paid support process, in which case there is none at all. But I feel like a funnier joke would be that Arch "support" lasts until there's any sort of update to any package you have.

I miss WinXP. Simply the best, imo.

[–] original_reader@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 months ago

That's not how you spell "Windows 7".

XP properly started the rubbish which keeps piling up in Windows 11. Remember the online activation, for example?

Still, Windows XP was much more user friendly/user respecting than 11 is.

It was your computer, and it was friendly.

Eight months to learn Linux is a LONG time. You’ll be fine.

Time to switch to linux, then.

they were hounding me every fucking day on my only windows device, so I blocked all windows update domains on my pihole.

I don't use it often, but use it to do 3D modeling/slicing.

I need a new PC for Windows 11. So I thought I’ll wait as long as possible. The later, the less expensive a good machine will be. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Too lazy to set up computer again. massgrave.dev will carry me for a few more years, and then it's time for a new build anyway.
