They figured if they make Win 10 just as bad as Win 11 people will finally switch over.
Obligatory Linux plug.
I migrated the day before yesterday. A company can only feed you hot logs, straight from the factory, for so many years before you tire of pretending the taste is acceptable.
Your laptop must be an exception. I’ve installed Linux Mint on an old laptop that couldn’t even run Windows 10 properly and it just worked with zero hiccup.
I assume this is either a meme or a very unique situation. “Not working” is too generic, if you can provide more details we could even help
YEEEEEEY! THIS IS SOOOO COOL! SUCH A FEATURE!!!
god i hate Microsoft.
Microsoft wants everyone to suffer. Even the smarter windows users.
You would think they make enough on their corporate licenses to cover the cost of home users and whatever piracy still exists.
I was sucker back then as I paid for a home license for $165 cad though I rectified the mistake by donating more to Linux projects all together
Same, I bought 7 and 10 but have since put more into Debian, Wikipedia, Archive.org and some other projects than I will ever spend again on a Windows license.
Linux is free btw
God damnit. I have a W10 drive left because SteamVR is still a little clunky on Debian.
I really hope valve comes out with a new release of SteamOS for desktops, the Steam Deck version is damned near flawless.
It won’t make them any more money so it’s not like there is a financial incentive for them, but they do occasionally do things just because they aren’t assholes.
A steam deck beta update from the past week or two that they were working on adding support for the ROG Ally. The verge asked valve about it, and they confirmed they’re actively working on making it support other handheld PCs.
OpenShell is your friend then. I haven’t seen the Windows 8 or 10 menu in years except when using the text launcher to start OpenShell after I closed it.
