Huge respect for not putting Ubuntu

[-] DavidGarcia@feddit.nl 67 points 6 months ago

is this real? windows 10 literally came out yesterday

[-] dustyData@lemmy.world 135 points 6 months ago

Remember when W10 was going to be the last windows you'd ever need.

[-] Zachariah@lemmy.world 122 points 6 months ago

Yes, it’s the last version of Windows I’ll ever need.

[-] doingthestuff@lemmy.world 8 points 6 months ago

Yep, not moving on. I still have a lot of things to figure out though. Unfortunately windows is easier for a lot of things but I'm completely done.

[-] Zachariah@lemmy.world 16 points 6 months ago

Oh, I meant I’m going to use a different OS after 10.

[-] tea@lemmy.today 11 points 6 months ago

This is linuxmemes after all...

[-] GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 47 points 6 months ago

To be fair, that is entirely accurate. It is the last windows I will ever need because I switched to linux.

[-] RecluseRamble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 6 months ago

On released they didn't know yet how far they can push that telemetry shit down their users' throats. I bet, 11 is better optimized for that. And eventually, it'll be Win365 OSaaS anyway...

[-] RamblingPanda@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 6 months ago

I've never tried 10. 8 was all I needed to switch.

No I think it's a daemon they summoned. Maybe the notification daemon?

[-] bruhduh@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago

Arc# is what happens when Microsoft copies it.

Let's be honest, real nerds use Gentoo

[-] zcd@lemmy.ca 60 points 6 months ago

Better start compiling now so its ready by October

[-] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 15 points 6 months ago

I started my Gentoo compile in 2008. It should be ready by next October.

[-] zcd@lemmy.ca 6 points 6 months ago

I did it on sparc way back in the day, took a solid week. Once was enough

[-] tentacles9999@lemmynsfw.com 6 points 6 months ago

Old news, gentoo has binary packages as an option

[-] Waffelson@lemmy.world 22 points 6 months ago

What's the point of using Gentoo if you don't compile?

[-] jws_shadotak@sh.itjust.works 25 points 6 months ago

a good starter distro but ideally you should make your own from scratch so you know what's in it

[-] SidewaysHighways@lemmy.world 15 points 6 months ago

Linux has a good starter kernel but ideally you should

[-] xavier_berthiaume@jlai.lu 14 points 6 months ago

Honestly you're not a real one until you've written your own kernel entirely

Windows 10 LTSC 2021 edition has support until January 13th 2032.

I'd obviously prefer if more people gave Linux a try but if you're literally forced to use Windows then it's probably your best option right now.

[-] Switorik@lemmy.zip 12 points 6 months ago

If my Nvidia graphics card played nicely, I would.

It's my #1 complaint with Linux... Well Nvidia.

[-] missphant@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 6 months ago

Progress in that regard is actually pretty rampant lately, I can imagine by the time Windows 10 is EOL it will be no different from AMD.

\ you dropped this

[-] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 17 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

All jokes aside, after hearing that EOL is coming to Win10 this October, I have decided over the summer, before fall quarter is in and I'm back to start my 2nd year of college, that I would definitely be taking everything I need/want off of my desktop and switch to something like mint or MX because of how simple and user friendly they've been to me as someone who's only been using Linux for maybe 2-3 years. Only things I would I need are dedicated time and personal drive to pull that off and a new external drive for storing all my files.

Hell my win10 pc hasnt had an update since '21 so no great loss

[-] Opisek@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

That computer better be air gapped. Security updates are essential.

But see if they started using gentoo like myself. If they start compileing now They will have a full desktop by then

[-] BarrelAgedBoredom@lemm.ee 12 points 6 months ago

I run mint btw

[-] Veraxus@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago
[-] 4am@lemm.ee 10 points 6 months ago
[-] Veraxus@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

Fair. In that case I’d recommend openSUSE.

I try to avoid things with Red Hat or Canonical stink on it (which is why Kubuntu and Fedora are out)… and it’s more friendly than something more barebones like Arch.

70% of the market. Half of those computers can't even run windows 11. Good to see Microsoft taking charge in the fight against the environment by asking tens of millions of people to throw away their perfectly good computers and buy new ones
