    “Windows 11 is great if you don’t value your time” …or privacy, sanity, morality, or just your hardware in general.

    Remember when Microsoft said Windows 10 would be the last version of Windows because we had the Internet and live software updates? I remember!

      Actually, no.

      That was one Microsoft employee, speculating on his own during a press interview. It was never the official position of the company.

      (Plenty of legit reasons to hate on Microslop. No need to bring up debunked shit.)

        Before it was debunked, it was “common knowledge” for several months that Microsoft was representing Windows 10 as their last OS, the start of rolling releases that mean you never really get a new OS, you’re constantly getting a new OS. The story kind of faded and the debunk didn’t really reach “awareness threshold” until Win11 was announced.

        10 and 11 are both rolling releases, which many Linux Distros have adopted as well, and with the pace of update and patch distribution lately most OSs have at least some of the flavor of a rolling release - 1313 patches from Debian under DSA-6528-1, and new DSAs every few weeks.

          Everytime I have issues withy work laptop and “compliance”. The debug info says my Windows 11 laptop is running Windows 10. So, Microslop doesn’t even know WTF is going on.

    And yet it’s at 71.34% on the Steam survey :(

    We need OEMs to push Linux more, where are all the Steam Machine copycats?
