Hopefully, SteamOS Desktop will be in the wild and shaked off any teething issues. I want to switch to an OS that is suitable for a power-casual. If it looks like a 2nd American Civil War or WW3 is on, I might switch early to Cachy.

MS would be wild to expect people to buy a new machine before 2036. Consumer prices aren’t going to magically fall.

Either this is incorrect info, a huge flop, or MS really doesn’t care if home users switch to Linux from all the cash flowing in from businesses.

It’s not clear whether Windows 12 will welcome any non-NPU processors. More likely, PCs that don’t meet its system requirements will lose some functionality.

They will lose some functionality, only if we accept that the slop features meet the definition of what makes a piece of functionality. They seem to not function quite a lot still.

So a forced upgrade again? I don't understand why people put up with this still, apart from shitty Windows only software and even then, maybe it's time to try something new.

Scuz me, I'm gonna go hug all my Linux boxes right now

Having OS releases like this is just to appease computer manufacturing company's. And to force Microsoft's new AI trash.

System76 makes nice Linux laptops.

Please do it. And end support for Windows 11 in 2027!

Y'all know this article is based on a fake article, right?

Lmao, why would anyone want to buy more expensive hardware to run shittier software?
