      aye lets just keep putting up with ever increasing bullshit instead of going through mild discomfort once to get used to a new os.

      i heard apple has a huge marketing budget though. lets all switch to apple im sure it will be better and that no other viable alternative exists.

    Just spreading the good word for those still stuck/attached to Windows. You can get W11 IoT Enterprise LTSC which has no bullshit. Would be a shame to waste time looking for it, and a permanent activation on websites such as massgravedotdev.

    Edit: this version is FANTASTIC for gaming. Doesn’t even have Xbox or M$ Store bloat. Feels like PC gaming back in the XP and 7 days.

        Windows 10 still works fine and a lot of what 11 disqualified was perfectly capable hardware.

            I’m guessing the majority of those people barely know how to work a computer.

            For example, I’m either going to need to swap my mother’s computer over to something Linux or give her something supported. Not currently sure which but since everything is web based anyways, I think Linux would be ok for her.

            If it were up to her, she will use it well out of support before buying a new laptop.

              Just set my MIL up on Linux Mint. The two things she uses her computer for are email and web browser, so it doesn’t make any difference to her.

                  A new windows computer I would have had to set up for her as well.
