Comment on Windows 12 May Require a Subscription

Leave now. I was using Windows for years until I finally made the full switch to Linux last year. I dropped iPhone too. I may honestly just keep an emergency phone on me but I’ll store it in a Faraday bag, I don’t see a point of carrying around a tracking device.

Use Signal Desktop and have your co workers call you there. On my resume I heavily point out that I highly depend on Linux and avoid Windows. Its up to them if it will be compatible with the line of work such as becoming a Help Desk in IT. Make the switch, you won’t regret it.

I will regret it actually, as I would constantly be struggling to play games my friends want to play (they are a picky bunch) and I would have to take probably a whole month installing and learning new applications, rewriting scripts, and so much more to integrate into Linux. Not to mention I would probably want to reformat and move 20TB of data to switch from NTFS. It’s not something I want to do right now, but it is definitely something I am willing to do given enough provocation.

As for phones, I need one for work. Getting rid of it is a no-go.

  For the beginning you can also dual boot. For games it depends. A lot of stuff works right out of the box but a lot of stuff requires additional steps or doesn’t work. You can also check if a game is playable on Linux on protondb.com

    I wouldn’t mind dual booting, that’s for sure. I looked into it previously but was put off because I saw discouraging information about Windows 11 with all the secure boot nonsense, but looking further it seems it may be a minor hiccup.

    These can be bypassed with some registry editing in the installer. Press Shift+F10 to open cmd, type regedit, and in regedit, go in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Setup and in setup right click and create a key named “LabConfig” in it, you can add DWORD 32-bit values to bypass stuff. And double click them and set the value to 1. Here are the possibilities:
    
    BypassSecureBootCheck
    
    BypassCPUCheck
    
    BypassTPMCheck
    
    BypassRAMCheck

  Damn, I would be hoping it would be more inclined to using Linux in the field but who knows, maybe I might find a company that values it and utilizes it daily. I could utilize Windows 10/11 in a VM, which I would be fine using for work purposes. I wish more people would learn how to use Linux. It takes awhile but once you know how to use it, its so much better imo.
