And Microsoft is known throughout the world as an honest company that follows the laws, complies with regulations and keeps it’s word.

I would say they are known for skirting the edge of the law, sometimes getting in trouble but usually not, or at least nothing serious. They don’t outright break it, and the software re-installing might not break it. Whatever happens, you can bet they’ll do the most anti-consumer thing they may be allowed to get away with.

This is why I keep updates disabled.

“Oh no, you’ll be at risk!” phhbt. Nonsense.

I’ve had zero issues from not being updated, but plenty from updates breaking stuff.

Even LTSC only gets updates 2x a year, so apparently even MS agrees.

Finally a reason to change from 10 to 11. This laptop will probably go to 11 for me, but my next PC is probably going to be linux.

Because changing your OS is always a hassle, especially if its from one OS family to another.

Linux yes or yes, but probably in dual boot for several reasons (Drivers, certain needed soft, etc). The perfect OS don’t exist, because of this using both, Windows and Linux is the best choice, depending on the use

If you get a PC to specifically run linux, you can make sure everything works well on it and avoid driver problems.

turdware is EOL.

sure some ppl still use myspace, tidal or google search like its the 00s but lets be real: with the rise of AI it is also tze end of US based services - as meta and google pointed out it is impossible to gate AI.

the only thing that will prevail is FOSS. the later you join, the more likely you’ll be the dinosaur turning into a fossil.

over and over again dumb twats keep rooting for their echochamber of stupid and 10 years later they crawl back to society and like drop whatsapp for signal, office CD ISO for googledocs and so on.

right now i think the biggest indicator if being a twat is owning anything from apple. they are currently the biggest stronghold of stupid. geez, remember my dad rooting for VHS and DVD…put in so much money and now it is worth nothing and everyone knows he was a dumb twat. so see an iPhone user 8 think of how stupid people are.

Still I’m not going back to the Windows. Even if I do, Win11 wouldn’t be my choice.

Based on their previous behavior, they would act like a spoiled child.

That’s also how Valve ended up allowing refunds on Steam.
