Comment on Windows 12 release date in 2026 possible, with AI features that may force CPU upgrades
brsrklf@jlai.lu 5 days agoI 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.
