Comment on Dark patterns killed my wife’s Windows 11 installation – OSnews

for now, there’s windows 10 LTSC, updates until 2032. I would get her this. after that she could still use windows 11 LTSC releases, which don’t receive surprise function changes because businesses use it for critical things.

Not an option. A few years ago I helped a friend when her printer quit working on Windows 10. What started as occasional help turned into near daily phone calls and demands for tech support. Turned out her boyfriend was getting pissed off when he was playing a game and killing the PC with the power button on the PC.
I’m willing to help her occasionally but am not going further than that.

ok, but won’t they also demand tech support for the mac? and if others can’t give them help for windows, and you won’t either, who will for the mac?

Apple.

Gotta laugh at the downvotes. Maybe you’d like to be her tech support?
