Isn't Windows 10 suppose to be the last Windows release? We changed our minds.

I'm trying but the girlfriend refuses. She watches YouTube on the TV and does everything else on her phone; literally only uses the laptop to play The Sims 4 (which her 1080ti can handle just fine), yet she's convinced that she will need a brand new gaming machine with a 4090/5090 as soon as Microsoft dumps WIn10. She's afraid that she'll completely break the OS if she switches to Linux. (Which is plausible, though unlikely.

I'm hoping she'll change her mind as soon as she realizes just how much more GPUs cost these days, especially mobile ones.

Create a live USB stick and demonstrate it to her, without deleting Windows. Bonus points if you rice the fuck out of it with some kawaii shit for your GF and make Sims 4 work with Wine.

Weird hill to die on perhaps; but I'll never forgive Microsoft for arbitrarily deciding to not support my Core i7 6700K 4Ghz CPU on Windows 11.

Simply because: I cannot find a single actual technical reason why it wouldn't be compatible (yes, my mobo also has TPM). It's even higher specced than many other 'supported' chips.

MS apparently just decided I hadn't spent enough money lately. Well now I won't - on your products - ever again, while this i7 will continue to run Win 10 for games and Linux for all else.

Gaming is great on Linux nowadays btw. I installed Fedora a few weeks ago and haven't had a single problem with any of my games - I'm getting better framerates, too.

I'm in a similar boat. My computer meets all of the other requirements like TPM and whatnot, yet they are arbitrarily deciding that my processor is too old. And for some reason you can walk into your local computer store and buy a laptop with the shittiest processor and other specs possible that somehow runs Windows 11. Just because the processor on the new shitbox was manufactured more recently. Ridiculous.

"Trade it"

TO FUCKING WHOM? The whole point is that you made it useless.

(Unless this is Microsoft providing some free advertising for Linux)

[–] chicken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago

Probably going to be a ton of cheap used computers on the market in the near future for installing Linux on

[–] meowMix2525@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

The OneDrive plug at the end is *chefs kiss*

This is the biggest garbage a tech company did to almost 256 million PCs in use and fully working. I installed Linux Mint on all three PCs I own. Free and works far better than I thought.

Hold on to your butts.

Big influx of Linux-compatible office PCs hitting eBay soon.

[–] phx@lemmy.ca 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That and/or a big influx of vulnerable unpatched Windows machines...

[–] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

Any unpatched windows machine can be patched into a Linux machine.

[–] tibi@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

While I agree this is a shit thing to do, I am looking forward to the influx of cheap hardware.

[–] _carmin@lemm.ee 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Use Linux. And dont listen to zealts who say its not a viable option. Its actually way ahead than Windows or Macos

[–] RedFrank24@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Trade it in to who? Who's buying PCs that can't be used? I mean there's the retro market, but AFAIK they aren't buying anything after Windows XP.

Browsing from a 12 year old laptop running Win7 ... what's the issue?

[–] yonder@sh.itjust.works 0 points 3 months ago (13 children)
