Comment on Windows 12 release date in 2026 possible, with AI features that may force CPU upgrades

I know Lemmy is a Linux echo chamber. But also, I feel like people did actually managed to move to alternative OSes or stay on Win10 cause they were fed up with NoPilot on win11.
Also, once Steam Machine is released, that probably will boost migration to the skies.

I may have been on lemmy for a while, but I only got seriously into linux for like 2 months. Part because I am fed up with the AI/advertising bullshit in recent Windows, part because of end of support for my hardware.
My previous personal desktop linux attempts were like early 00s and didn’t last long so I don’t think I’m officially part of the cult yet. I work with linux, I tinkered a bit with RasPi debians, but it’s the first time I am really considering it for my all purpose PC.
I still have a PC on W11. I am not in a hurry to convert it, because there is still stuff stucked on windows that I don’t expect will be easy to replace. Like Virtual Desktop.

Yeah I switched two years ago after trying and going back like 7 years prior. My first try was during a time I was using a lot of propertarian software, gaming on Linux didn’t work, I wasn’t prepared for the changes, and it didn’t just work. I’d always wanted the freedom, but I’m not a programmer and most important for me was that things work. The recall bs and the floating of ads was what got me to switch, and I’m glad I did.
