IIRC W11 share is barely near W10 and they are already forcing it out and crapton of perfectly usable hardware, if it is not planned obsolescence i don't know what it is!? Fuck microsoft!

I want to point out, planned obsolescence only really applies to their surface offerings.

Why? I’ve been running a Surface Go 1 with Fedora since 2020 and I plan on keeping it until 2029 at least.

So I can’t see the planned obsolescence except if you meant the ability to upgrade its internals..

I was pointing out that M$ neither made other hardware that doesn’t support W11, or (directly) profits from hardware being outside support for W11. So planned obsolescence doesn’t really apply in any way to 99% of cases people try to say it does.

Okay I understand now, but I think the formulation could have been better then😇
