This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
If by "complicates... basic PC ownership" they mean "infringes on your property rights as a computer owner," then they're finally catching on to what I've been saying for damn near a decade.
You should not accept having an abusive relationship with your operating system, and that's what Windows has been since at least 8 (when they started infecting it with "telemetry"), if not earlier. Have some goddamn self-respect, people! Kick Microsoft to the curb!
Also win8: Hey, would you like NOT having a desktop? We've got tiles now!
Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC is supported until 2032 and free to activate.
And what does that accomplish? Delaying the actual problem to 2032?
It delays the problem for six more years, and it also gives me the satisfaction of ~~pirating~~ testing the only decent version of Windows free of Microslop bloat and vibe coded react.
the only decent version of Windows
Please stop romanticising Win 10 just because it's less shitty than 11. There is no decent Windows.
Reminder: Win 10 introduced
Exactly. It just delays the inevitable (maybe even sooner if something denies to run on "this old unsupported version"). As an old win-lover I never thought I'd say this:
Better switch to Linux, most of everything windows still works, everything else is just better and faster.
It gives you 6 years to transition to a better OS. Or to become CEO of Microslop and improve things.
It's honestly great, even for me who only boot into windows once every few months.
I wouldn't say "great". But great in comparison to 11 😁 But who needs 6 years of transition? The run-of-the-mill-user with office and Firefox could just switch and not even notice it. Despite libreoffice loading much quicker.
