Comment on Windows 10 LTSC – the version that won't expire for years

You’re not going to get “improvements” in Windows, that should be clear by now. Crystal clear, I would think.

Linux IS good, and today, the “paradigm shift” is more like a gentle learning curve with people holding your hand every step.

I’m an old geezer who made the jump a year ago, it really isn’t hard. Literally, the only thing I miss is the big preview window in the file manager. Big previews for all of the major formats is a big plus for Windows, but not one that kept me on their side.

I strongly recommend to people to try linux on an old laptop because that’s something most people can do even if they still need windows for something

This is the crux of the issue. Holding out for improvements … that aren’t coming.

I have Windows 11 and am unlikely to change this computer (though who knows), however I absolutely plan on my next build being Linux. I might start tinkering around in a VM.

I may be misinterpreting you, but I think this is a thing with Dolphin. It has a preview pane, which supports all the file types I commonly interact with (F11), which can be dragged to resize bigger or smaller.

I haven’t used any preview thing on Windows, which is why I think I may be misunderstanding.

Anyways if you haven’t tried Dolphin, maybe it has a solution for you (made by kde project, but I believe it should be installable for any desktop environment)
