    Nah, I’m good. Switched to Linux, and there’s no need for me to go back

    Gotta use a MS account on your computer though, so this is not a viable option for a lot of people

    They know the moment Win10ESU ends, the year of the Linux Desktop begins. It’s already better for the most part, if only we had better debugging tools for Linux (GDB needs an actual GUI so badly, not just hack jobs on top of the CLI, often even DAB solutions are a bit underbaked).

      Good way to go! And if you’re really technically ept and have no friends, don’t use arch but rather the average systemd-free glibc-free and ofc bloatless distro. That’ll get you occupied for a while.

    I think it’s more that users can’t afford new hardware, even though win11 seems like a step backwards.

      There’s also the point that game quality has gone down significantly. If I were to build a new rig which would cost me an arm and a leg, I would still just play games that my current PC can already run anyway. I don’t wanna play the newest CoD-slop or some tech-demo with MTX-shop disguised as a game. The newest games I really enjoyed were Monster Sanctuary (Unity-based monster collector metroidvania-like) and Balatro (no introduction necessary). A toaster can run these.

    Obligatory, here’s your sign to switch to Linux. For people who do nearly everything or everything online it’s a pretty easy switch.

    ohh thank fucking god. I hate windows, but not having a huge portion of the population ready to be infected is a good thing for everyone

      Do you log into Windows 10 with a local account or an MS account? If it’s local, you’re not getting the updates. If it’s MS, you might be better off not getting the updates.

      Lazyness? You’re not avoiding 11 because you’re lazy, you’re avoiding it because you know what’s best for you

          No one likes stepping in dog shit, but it is a natural thing. Windows 11 is NOT natural. And is not a thing you should do-- ever!
