CPU upgrades? What CPU’s? Are the CPU’s in the Microcenter with us, Microsoft? Can you show us on the shelf where the mystical CPU’s are?
Is the shortage a mirage? Our imagination?

And you sir, is your motherboard socket waiting to receive my CPU?

Microsoft can do whatever. I’m not coming back.

If it is AI based I guarantee it will be subscription based. That could push me over the edge to some Linux variant.
areakode@riskeratspizza.com 2 months ago
It’s easier than you might think. Check out Debian with KDE Plasma frontend. It’s similar enough to Windows that it finally pushed me over to Linux.
Xenny@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Honestly, unless you’re a huge League of Legends fan, just do it.
BackgrndNoize@lemmy.world 2 months ago
No it will force operating system upgrades, as people switch to Macos or Linux
BromSwolligans@lemmy.world 2 months ago
They can force this.
The only thing I’m looking forward to more than the collapse of the AI bubble is Microsoft, specifically, eating shit at the hands of a public that doesn’t want, need, or give two shits about them anymore. Just like Intel or whatever your favorite example is, see some fucking titan that thought they were some great titan, only to turn out to be Ozymandias when the whole fucking world looks up at them and shrugs. Like the end of the Truman show when this massive, all-consuming industry of a production comes crashing down in an evening, and the television viewers at home happily shrug and say, “what else is on?”
The word about Linux is out, and, as Snazzy Labs recently pointed out, Macs have accidentally become the best value in new computers. There are excellent non-Windows options for ordinary people who just do everything through a web browser and an office suite, for not much money all over the fucking place, and the day their greed catches up to them and they start to lose real market share is so close I can taste it.

Lmfao Microslop stop trying to make Recall and Copilot and AI bullshittery happen. It’s not gonna happen.
workgood@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
it WILL happen,even if it takes ages to. AI is simply the future
4am@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
It would be nice if we actually had AI, instead of LLMs and ML models to analyze your cloud uploads for god knows what
Bytemeister@lemmy.world 2 months ago
AI isn’t the future, the IoT of this decade.

Hopefully, SteamOS Desktop will be in the wild and shaked off any teething issues. I want to switch to an OS that is suitable for a power-casual. If it looks like a 2nd American Civil War or WW3 is on, I might switch early to Cachy.
LifeLikeLady@lemmy.world 2 months ago
If your a power-casual then why are you waiting for Steam OS? You realize that any distro with steam installed is basically Steam OS?
SabinStargem@lemmy.today 2 months ago
Because I want a 800lb gorilla to perpetually support my gaming distro, working Nvidia drivers, have enough freedom to use mods and whatnot, documentation suitable for people who aren’t terminal-brained, and so forth. Valve is the kind of company that can tick these boxes, simply through sheer inertia.
I tried Mint back in early 2025. It wasn’t quite right for my purposes, so I wanted to wait for something friendlier.
ZMoney@lemmy.world 2 months ago
So is Mint still the easiest distro? I think I’m switching for good this time.
Bytemeister@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I went from 10 to Mint back in January.
Pretty easy switchover. Very few issues. As a lifelong Windows user, installing apps, keeping everything updated and backed up could not be easier. Only issue I ran into during install was my WiFi device would not show up. Had to turn off fast boot and then power cycle the system and literally pull the plug to completely reset the adapter. Other than that, everything worked perfectly “out of the box”. No fucked up driver install process. No hour long updates. It literally worked perfectly within minutes. All the shit I went through with every single Windows install honestly feels like a cruel fucking joke right now when I type it out.

I had some issues with my Bluetooth/wifi but I somehow got it to work. Modding is a bit of a bitch though, I have to run Vortex through steam tinker and it is less than optimal even if it works.
Reygle@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Probably? There are others that might be a tiny bit easier but have less active communities, so I’d still say Mint.
chronicledmonocle@lemmy.world 2 months ago
If you’re using your computer for web browsing, document editing, etc., Mint is a great choice.
If you are doing a lot of gaming, I’d suggest Fedora with either GNOME or the KDE spin.
ZMoney@lemmy.world 2 months ago
So for a total novice vould you elaborate on this? Like why a certain build is better for gaming?
ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
I started with Fedora myself and moved to FedoraKDE, also good.
washbasin@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
It’s probably the easiest lift and shift distro. I still use it as it simply just works.

Man, Microsoft doubling down on the whole “Let’s force most of our customers to purchase entirely new computers to use the next release!” strategy after it went so well for Windows 11 is just hilarious. Especially with hardware costs skyrocketing due to AI BS.
green_goglin@thelemmy.club 2 months ago
This is such a Microslop move. At least the company stays on brand.
TheSeveralJourneysOfReemus@lemmy.world 2 months ago
After buyers invested in Windows 11 PCs, Microsoft may find it difficult to encourage early adoption. The motivation now is not security-related, but rather mandating previously optional AI-based features […] Consumers may also not welcome rumored subscription-based plans for the OS. Still, the report suggests that additional costs are related to an improved Windows 365 cloud-based service […] Windows is a mandatory AI driven “” os “” that’s leasing its features from cloud platforms. Sounds like corporate setups for home computers

If they do this, they are going to be laughed out of the room. But then they will announce end of life for Win11 and everyone will stop asking questions and move anyway because “Linux scary”.
I hate reality.

They’ll put an affordable dumb terminal on the market like those Google PCs.
You’ll own nothing.

The enterprise editions don’t seem to attract all of the bloat that home and pro editions get. I think they know they can’t get away with it.

I know Lemmy is a Linux echo chamber. But also, I feel like people did actually managed to move to alternative OSes or stay on Win10 cause they were fed up with NoPilot on win11.
Also, once Steam Machine is released, that probably will boost migration to the skies.

I 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.
captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 months ago
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.
