This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Too late, already jumped to Linux. My machine is noticeably faster doing everything now
Sorry, but this sounds like its half bs.
It probably has less to do with "rejecting" or anything to do with RAM, and more likely to do with all the embedded systems running it, or lazy people who don't upgrade simply because they don't need to
I know lots of people running old versions of Mac OS, and it is because their hardware doesn't support newer, and it works fine for their usecase. They're not thinking about the hardware in any way.
In fact, in contrast to MacOS, Microsoft actually offers this extended support option, whereas Apple tells its users to get f'ed fairly quickly (yet another reason NOT to use MacOS / Apple. You pay a premium for hardware they often don't support for long). Also, Ubuntu offers 15 years now support for LTS (which is crazy).
I use Fedora btw.
Windows 11 is synonymous with dog shit.
One more year...
;-D
Just reposting something. Most of it probably applies to Windows 10 too.

PSA, for people sticking to Windows:
You can get a reasonable level of privacy by installing Windows Enterprise via RUFUS, which also has options for removing restrictions during installation. Massgravel is used to activate your copy of Windows, the Github also having .ISOs for you to use with RUFUS.
ShutUp10 is a piece of software that goes a step further, allowing you to toggle off many bad things, uninstall Microsoft's AI, and gives a description of what you are tweaking does. The premium version also automatically applies your settings at all times, reverting Microsoft's constant tweaking of your settings.
Some people really do say that Linux is too much hassle, but then go through a 30 step process just to have a slightly less bloated piece of spyware.
I mean, it's good that this option exists. I'm sure it'll be helpful for people who need Windows 10 for some obscure music software, that doesn't work well or at all in a virtual machine or through wine. That might really be Windows 10's singular last use case.
i pretty much expected it would get extended... and probably will one more time, to match the three extra years win7 got with its 'esu' sub.
They may need to extend it even further than that if PC prices haven't started coming back down by 2028.
There is also aspect of hardware not having TPM 2. Which turns plenty of good hardware to junk if you stay with windows.
NO, it will only be hurt by updates, win 10 has been more stable than ever since they fucked off to molest and ruin windows 11 with AI slop.
I hate windows but it is clear that 10 is better than 11. I love linux doe... like that whole thing with recall.... if you are using windows let me fuck your wife.
I will have to search my comment history but I called this shit a fucking year ago!
The whole minimum HW requirements is so bullshit. I have a stick pc and a tablet with some Atom CPU, 2Gb RAM, that run W10 reasonably well. No rockets and will probably choke on many apps, but for web stuff (just don't keep more than 2-3 tabs open) media playing, and light stuff they are surprisingly capable. I have installed Antix Linux on one, and it's a really capable machine.
That's just bs, with win11 at over 70% vs 12% win10.
Same story every Windows update
