The writing is on the wall--I suspect the next Windows OS will be a subscription service. Gather your ISOs while ye may.

Honestly, kinda glad that my win10 PC “doesn’t have the specs” to run win11. Stupid, because I’m running an 18-core Xeon w/ 128 gigs of ram and a 2070 super, but of course the stupid TPM chip. But oh well, guess I won’t be able to get ads on my own product.

The bummer is I’ll likely need to install it on something because I occasionally need to go back to windows to use certain programs… maybe someday wine will work well enough to actually use reliably…

Are you absolutely sure the programs you need don't work in wine/proton? The last few years have been a renaissance in terms of increased compatibility.

I tried fusion360 last week and it was broken; some big update they released broke it and now I just gagged to wait for it to get fixed, I guess. Will try it again in a month or so asked are if it’s fixed… but I’ve always had awful luck getting wine working. Same w/ photoshop

Yeah, I've heard Photoshop can be rough. Here's hoping someone figures those out for you so you can find your way to the promised land. These days everything important to me works in Linux and I'm never going back.
