Windows 10 will reach end of support on October 14, 2025. The current version, 22H2, will be the final version of Windows 10, and all editions will remain in support with monthly security update releases through that date. Existing LTSC releases will continue to receive updates beyond that date based on their specific lifecycles.

Time to learn Linux!

thanks, lemmy

Yeah, that’s.. people need to stop prescribing Linux to solve everything from minor glitches ti major cloud outages to marital issues and erectile dysfunction..

Glitches and cloud outages happen on Linux too, but erectile dysfunction is definitely a Windows problem.

Similarly, had you switched to Arch in your teens, you would never have had marital issues.

If they really wanted people to upgrade to Windows 11, they'd take out the TPM and SecureBoot requirements.

Truly the Kinect of Windows 11.

[-] refalo@programming.dev 1 points 7 months ago

upgrades don't give them license fees, they want you to buy a new pc.

I still miss the Kinect. Shouting at people in Skyrim was awesome. They should have doubled down and added finger recognition for the Series K.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 1 points 7 months ago

I actually bought an Xbox 360 Kinect for a grand total of £6 the other month.

Turns out you can use software called Amethyst for cheap full body tracking in PC VR games.

They really want us to use Copilot AI, so that they can pushed more paying subscribers such as corpos and govts to use the service.

More money for microsucks, less jobs available to us

Its the Data harvesting that's irking me. Not that data harvesting is new; but that i have a dreadful sense of M$' "AI" scheming just crosses a rubicon of data harvesting.

I'm backing away slowly. Dont care what games or executables i wont be able to run. Get ready for the accusations that im the "radical arch-loving myopic lemmy elite": it's finally time to run *nix as host.

Of Note, Microsoft has a block on a lot of people moving to 11 without buying new computers. This will solidify their position as a corporate provider over personal devices and give more fuel to either Apple or Open Source.

[-] Woovie@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

I switched to Arch a month ago because of Microsoft forceful integration of their shit AI tools into 11. Easy switch.

[-] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 0 points 7 months ago

If memory serves me, they usually do 5 years of extended support after they retire an os, so, I'm just going to wait and see.

[-] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

Supposedly they're not doing that this time. That's part of the reason people are making a big deal out of it.

[-] Beebabe@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago

I’ve decided I’m gonna have one crapbox prebuilt just for the windows things and nothing important or personal, but my work laptop and pc will most certainly not be windows going forward. I have a lot to learn but I’m over it with the ads and the privacy stuff is a genuine concern for work related items.

[-] refalo@programming.dev 0 points 7 months ago

unfortunately the games I like to play require bare-metal windows and a beefy gpu.

Lucky I already upgraded OS to not include any Micro$hit.

Micro$quash makes 80 BEELYUN dollars a year in pure unadulterated profit, but it can’t keep security updates coming.

Well. I mean, they can, hahaha . . .ahh but they’re not going to.
