Comment on Windows 11's adoption is much slower compared to Windows 10, claims Dell

  The difference is that Windows 11 is locked behind behind hardware requirements. A lot of people simply can’t upgrade.

  ^ This, I had to be dragged kicking and screaming from 7 to 10, and now looking forward to another 3 years of Win10 security updates, while fervently praying that Adobe and my online games develop Linux support in that time >_>

    Will it make you even more frustrated to learn Steam has a Linux-native build of Substance Painter, but Adobe still won’t support it themselves?

      Ah yes the classic purist arguement.

      If the applications I want to use don’t support Linux then apparently that’s their problem. I wish I didn’t have to live in the real world, but unfortunately I can’t pay my mortgage in moral righteousness. If I can’t use the programs I need to use my job, because I’ve decided to switch to an operating system that they don’t support, I’m the one that’s going to suffer.

      So no you can’t just ditch applications that don’t have Linux support.

      In the real world you have to dual boot and that’s a pain in the arse because it means Microsoft are still going to be getting some money from me.

        It’s a catch 22. If you need applications to make money sure. But games. Come on.

        I get a PC from my job, it has windows and that’s their choice.

      Maybe not worth it for you, but I’m enjoying them too much to ditch them 🤷

  and now they are saying they will never upgrade from 10 to 11

  The stats show people are bailing this time. English speakers are jumping ship at historically unprecedented rates. Steam stats
