“But don’t learn about Windows 10 LTSC IoT!”
if i remember correctly, some ltsc versions will get updated until 2029
Isn't Windows 10 suppose to be the last Windows release? We changed our minds.

Anything but the penguin😂
What about the pengwings
Try Linux on it, specifically have a crack at raspberry pi os first. https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/ . See the section for Raspberry pi desktop for PC and mac .
I'm trying but the girlfriend refuses. She watches YouTube on the TV and does everything else on her phone; literally only uses the laptop to play The Sims 4 (which her 1080ti can handle just fine), yet she's convinced that she will need a brand new gaming machine with a 4090/5090 as soon as Microsoft dumps WIn10. She's afraid that she'll completely break the OS if she switches to Linux. (Which is plausible, though unlikely.
I'm hoping she'll change her mind as soon as she realizes just how much more GPUs cost these days, especially mobile ones.
Create a live USB stick and demonstrate it to her, without deleting Windows. Bonus points if you rice the fuck out of it with some kawaii shit for your GF and make Sims 4 work with Wine.
While I agree this is a shit thing to do, I am looking forward to the influx of cheap hardware.
Meh, I just saw this banner on my Win 10 desktop, which is not compatible with Win 11, I'll just put Linux on it.
Just switched to Linux Mint. So worth it
Goodbye Windows, Hello Linux
They act like the computer's just going to stop working or something... People are going to use win 10 out of support for years.
Where are you seeing this? Doesn't seem like a typical Windows prompt.
Looks like an email
The OneDrive plug at the end is *chefs kiss*
"Trade it"
TO FUCKING WHOM? The whole point is that you made it useless.
(Unless this is Microsoft providing some free advertising for Linux)
Weird hill to die on perhaps; but I'll never forgive Microsoft for arbitrarily deciding to not support my Core i7 6700K 4Ghz CPU on Windows 11.
Simply because: I cannot find a single actual technical reason why it wouldn't be compatible (yes, my mobo also has TPM). It's even higher specced than many other 'supported' chips.
MS apparently just decided I hadn't spent enough money lately. Well now I won't - on your products - ever again, while this i7 will continue to run Win 10 for games and Linux for all else.
Gaming is great on Linux nowadays btw. I installed Fedora a few weeks ago and haven't had a single problem with any of my games - I'm getting better framerates, too.
Any reason you went with fedora? I've been partial to fedora for a decade, but last I knew it wasn't recommended for a daily driver given the upstream fuckery from redhat.
Asking cuz I'm about two weeks from kicking win10 in the dick and moving to alma or something.
I'm actually using Nobara, but it's not very popular so I just say Fedora in day-to-day conversation. From my understanding, Fedora-based distros play better with Nvidia GPUs.
Best of luck to you my friend. Like I said, fedora was my go-to for years, and I regularly fought against the Nvidia drivers and kept going back to windows.
I'm running AMD now, so I'm hoping my experience is better than it was when I was using nvidia
I'm responding to you, but this is more for others to see since you moved to AMD.
I used Nvidia cards for many years on Linux and only recently switched back to AMD. The main issues I ran into with Nvidia were related to driver updates breaking things rather than things not working in general. So, I eventually found that holding Nvidia drivers to versions that worked without issues was the best bet and only updating them on occasion after they had been out for a bit and the consensus was that they weren't breaking stuff.
Just to make things easier on others (or myself of the amd drivers have similar issues), how would one go about holding the driver at a specific version?

Everyone should use the most polished, solid and up to date distros. Opensuse and Fedora. There is no fucked up. Fedora is a serious project that Red hat uses to base their distro on. And Opensuse is German engineering. Serious is not even the correct word here, they are state of art distros.
Good to know, thanks! Like I said, I'm going to be diving back into Linux in the near future, so I'll be looking into the best distro to try.
I'm in a similar boat. My computer meets all of the other requirements like TPM and whatnot, yet they are arbitrarily deciding that my processor is too old. And for some reason you can walk into your local computer store and buy a laptop with the shittiest processor and other specs possible that somehow runs Windows 11. Just because the processor on the new shitbox was manufactured more recently. Ridiculous.
That's insane
Hold on to your butts.
Big influx of Linux-compatible office PCs hitting eBay soon.
That and/or a big influx of vulnerable unpatched Windows machines...
Any unpatched windows machine can be patched into a Linux machine.
I upgraded to Windows 11 it's not that bad.
Bro, my win11 family gaming machine can't even properly display the game icons or open the file explorer
I dunno what to tell you mate I haven't had any problems gaming on Windows 11.
Recycling it is actually a very good suggestion
You know this stuff isn’t actually recycled, right? It just ends up in a giant toxic burn pit in west Africa and then they have kids with small hands pick through the smoldering wreckage looking for blobs of metals.
If you don't recycle it properly yea that will happen
