  I would recommend Linux also for people who can run Windows 10 or 11.

      I agree. Last I checked you can actually get a copy of Enterprise LTSC for free, and it comes with MS Office for Business, aka individual apps, pre 365 trash. You won’t get the latest malware or OTA bug pushes, or even the latest in forced advertising widgets. Wouldn’t hurt to put it through Win11Debloat and the other one I can’t remember the name of

    The issue is the “some problem” with windows literally cannot be fixed and they’re asking for a solution.

      I don’t think I expressed the right intent with this meme. I’m 💯 with you. 😄

      No command sfc found

  The Linux part is a bit of an afterthought in that announcement but it’d be pretty cool if they’d just go all in. They admit they’re the main browser of most Linux distros after all, why not give a specific setup a shout-out? Most of the confusion in switching is in distro and interface, after all.

    In fairness to Mozilla, Firefox and Thunderbird are platform agnostic. It’s not really for them to tell users what OS to use. It’d cause them more aggro than its worth from all the people who have differing opinions on what the best OS is or the best distro to use. It’s already a tightrope act keeping their users happy when they announce things like AI in the browser. I think they’re right to focus on their own areas of interest.

      True. Maybe a guide that mentions the big names would suffice? I have a friend scared away with the choice paralysis.
