    I upgraded from Windows XP to Vista after the 2nd servicepack fixed most of the shit. By that point it was a tolerable OS.

    I am currently hoping for a major service pack next year to fix all the stupid shit they did in Windows 11.

    You know kind of like when they fucked up windows 8, attempted a quick fix in 8.1 and finally fixed it in win10.

    Of course they are at 4 major updates with win11 and it’s still shit so the hope is very thin.

      I can understand if you would want to delay on a personal machine. That’s your call. However, I am of the opinion that you should not gamble the business on it. You should not have any EOL devices in use, period. (Unless it is properly airgapped)

    Imagine not having windows 10 support until 2027

      You just stop getting updates.

      And we all know how secure Windows is, so I really don’t recommend that.

      No secure updates never lead anywhere good. Will it be doomsday? No probably not. However, the malware authors are going to target Windows 10 as much as they can because it will become an easy target the longer it goes unpatched.

    Wimdows 11 broke my laptop’s built in screen support, so it’s long overdue for a Linux upgrade. I just can’t decide which-- I like what Steam did with Arch, but I tried Manjaro and it was kind of ok until I borked it messing around as one does. Once I can decide a distro though, fuck Windows.

    It’s been close to 10 months since I fully switched to Linux. I am running Arch on all of my devices. Server, laptop and desktop. Desktop I have borked few times, but no worries since I dont store any critical data on the drive. Only OS because of this. I know I will bork it in future too, but I like to learn new things and Linux is the best choice for that.

    Convinced my gf to also switch to Linux, but we are still trying to find a more stable distro for her. I feel like installing Fedora or MX Linux for her.
