they were hounding me every fucking day on my only windows device, so I blocked all windows update domains on my pihole.
I don’t use it often, but use it to do 3D modeling/slicing.
Windows 10's extended support ends in eight months, but users are still rejecting Windows 11, at least in Germany

I need a new PC for Windows 11. So I thought I’ll wait as long as possible. The later, the less expensive a good machine will be. 🤦🏻♂️

…SSD and RAM prices are not gonna get better unless the AI bubble pops. I wouldn’t wait to get at least those two things.

You can use rufus to bypass whatever hardware requirements there are like tpm if you need to use Windows 11. For ltsc tpm isn’t even a requirement and has the copilot crap removed.

Never went with Win 11. Tried jump to Linux, played with it for a week I believe, quite recently. Tinkering aside (mostly due to learning so not so bad, last distro change I got it all up to where I wanted it within an hour after install, because I finally knew what I was doin xD) my main problem is that Linux doesn’t really use my specs well.
I have an older system and on Windows, I can punch above my league with running shit like Hogwarts Legacy or Fallout 76 on my i5-4460 and GTX 750, while on Mint, CachyOS and Nobara Fallout 76 struggled hard to run fluidly, liked to flicker and stuff, and Hogwarts Legacy couldn’t even get into menu. And I am not really willing to give up on these two for now.
But other than that I found that no matter the distro, shit just…works. The worst part I think was that drivers for my old GPU are shitty on linux, but if you have in hardware from the last decade, I’d say just try it. All apps and shit you need is mostly handled by package repositories (something like app stores) and if your software isn’t there, check it’s website, maybe they have .deb or .rpm packages which are pretty much Linux .exe files. Or a simple command to download it via terminal.
I have old Brother printer and even tho Linux community labels it papwerweight, Brother actually has full drivers for linux installed via copy-paste commands they give you on their website. With full instructions how to do it step by step. So really, if you didn’t try it yet, consider.

My experience has been the same. As a software engineer who used Linux throughout university, I just can’t enjoy having a lousy experience with poor performance, constant tinkering, limited software and constant bugs. I can’t even adjust the DPI scale of an external monitor on Ubuntu without the entire windowing system going haywire.
I guess I’m just too old to have the patience to try to fix that kind of stuff by hand, and I thought I’d never say it, but I just like Windows 11. It works. Sue me.

If you haven’t tried it, give Bazzite a shot. Been running it for a year or so at this point, minimal complaints and it runs like a champ with minimal issues and the GPU drivers are built into the image. Might be worth a shot to see if it helps your rig run better

My hardware is literally too old and unsupported according to Bazzite itself xD

Too lazy to set up computer again. massgrave.dev will carry me for a few more years, and then it’s time for a new build anyway.

Given the sloth’s track record of the last several months it makes sense to steer clear of the shitshow

for anyone afraid to make the jump to linux do it, now is the time. especially if you have an amd gpu unless you absolutely need software/games that does not support linux (and I dont mean the millions of windows games proton supports effortlessly, just a handful with kernel ac, and some pro software)
too daunting to research and learn? try in a vm and use llms to help you understand how things work
took me a week to get comfortable in arch linux after around two decades of windows
