  I have been using desktop Linux for 20 yrs. It’s insane how bad windows has gotten and how much Linux has improved.

    I use a Haswell Xeon server as my desktop. It’s not only fast enough for 10 but I run 10 with Linux VM’s.

    It could run 11 but MS won’t let me.

      Weird coincidence, I just had to replace my Haswell Xeon because of motherboard drath (and while the chip is probably still good, I’m not about to go mobo hunting for a 10yo mobo).

      Biggest irony, now that I can install 11, I’m using the opportunity to just install Linux.

      The stuff microsoft is making mandatory for windows 11 is good stuff. You can’t enable core isolation on hardware that’s not compatible with windows 11

      Any PC running hardware that’s too old to have the features you need for 11 would need to be replaced soon anyway

    Why is that ?

    My computer is not compatible with windows 11, but is still running factorio perfectly fine.

  The full screen “it’s time to upgrade to Windows 11 and set up all these AI features” popup was the last straw for me. This is finally a Windows-free home.
