[X] My Assistant

I just got the notification a few days ago. Microsoft is that damn adamant in wanting people to upgrade despite the fact that 11 is bloated up the wazoo with spyware. They could at least given 10 at least a few more years before bowing out. The thing is not everyone can afford or use Linux. What to do?

LTSC exists

not everyone can use Linux.

Then let them run BSD.

Once again a pattern of always the latest and dumping the old...

upgrade, buy a new pc/laptop, or get left in the dust

The thing is not everyone can afford or use Linux.

It is literally $0 to use Linux. And it costs non-zero amounts of money to buy a new PC.
You can "afford" to unless you can give a concrete reason why it's a non-starter. You just don't want to accept that you will have to re-learn some things and change the way you do things.
If you say "i can't afford to spend the time" then have fun getting fucked by microsoft forever.
Your choices are to stick with an unsupported OS, ditch microsoft, or continue watching your computing experience get worse (it's already worse than using wine imo).

Then let them run BSD.

I do like OpenBSD a lot.

I could see an argument to be had with the implied cost of games not working on Linux. Now, Linux does seem to be continuously improving how it handles games, but there are probably some games that have a "cost" from losing the ability to play them, likely anything with a kernel-level anticheat, or something else that would require specific Wine settings to be able to run, where said settings could be changed at any moment.

That sounds worrying how you put that. Its good to add more flexibility with games on linux with wine,steam and such but it sounds like that would go against what Linux should be about. Its not for games really. I just hope making games more available for linux wont make it worse.

SteamOS is linux and basically runs all games.

with things like winelib, companies that rely on kernel anticheat could make semi-native linux builds that were able to interface directly with the linux kernel, if such products are available for linux kernel anti-cheat.

Normiefication of anything makes that thing worse.

Windows 10 goes bye-bye October 14, 2025, upgrade, buy a new pc/laptop, or get left in the dust

Does that means I'm going to have to stop using Windows 7?

By the way, loved the

The thing is not everyone can afford or use Linux

part.

I thought it was obvious they meant, can afford [buying a new PC] or use linux. ESL, motherfsckers, do you speak it?

Apparently it's a thing to troll OpenBSD zealots by calling it Fish Linux.

It's also a thing for OpenBSD people to use Comic Sans to annoy others.

Will give me the push I need to install a Win10 cracked virtual machine when it happens (woohoo, no more updates to be wary of).
My computer isn't win11 compatible anyway, not having the required hardware spyware thing.

with things like winelib, companies that rely on kernel anticheat could make semi-native linux builds that were able to interface directly with the linux kernel, if such products are available for linux kernel anti-cheat.

Normiefication of anything makes that thing worse.

Now, I'm confused.

EDIT:

Congrats you managed to make ChatGPT confused.
Don't say I didnt try figure it out. I can only guess but why not enlighten me instead.

Redesigning it with normies as the new target audience.

Well thats annoying, my pc already has difficulties running w10, 11 will just break its legs even harder.

Plot twist, the PRC invades Taiwan before January 20, 2025, and the TSMC foundries are dynamited to keep the Red Chinese from seizing them. All Chinese and Taiwanese exports are shut off. So, you were waiting till October to build that new PC?

I Hate Windows 11 (IMG:[invalid] style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)

The 1 1 represents two giant dicks to be rammed up your ass......... but it's still supposed to be a bad thing.

I find it obnoxious that it keeps asking for your consent to ram the dicks up your ass but makes it very difficult to opt out.

You can opt out at any time

ACCEPT


Then there is no other button and you have to search online how to opt out.
