People bitch and moan every time MS Office apps are updated, too; I can't count the number of times I've heard coworkers complain. TBF though, I refuse to hit the "Try the new Outlook" toggle on my work laptop - I tried it once and it was worse in every way.

I'm glad the only MS products I use at this point are work-issued.

This is my wife and I

Yeah, all....gestures vaguely....that.

I mean, this is about privacy, is it not? It's pretty well-known by now that Windows mines your data.

Depends if the maintainers implemented it yet. You should go bug them, I hear maintainers love entertaining these kinds of questions.

Microsoft's requirements for Windows 11 include a 1GHz or faster CPU with at least two cores, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage,

All of this is no problem and essentially any computer manufactured in the last couple decades can meet these requirements. They're effectively irrelevant for this discussion.

IDK about you, but the Pentium 4 is not an ideal CPU for modern workloads. The absolute oldest hardware I would use today for anything is the Core2Duo with 8GB RAM. I know this because we have an A1276 MacBook Pro with the P8600 C2D, and it's barely sufficient. You look at it and the cooling fan begins a launch sequence 😅 and that's running Linux Mint. Windows 10/11 would grind it to a halt trying to run multiple tasks.

ITT: nobody understands the difference between this and Termux

That already happened with CyanogenMod, which LineageOS is forked from. It was a massive clusterfuck, and is the reason LineageOS exists today.

That, and small phones on the Android side are often nerfed beyond reason, like a bottom-of-the-barrel Mediatek SoC with low RAM and shit storage option instead of the bigger model's Snapdragon and quality storage, or shit cameras, or garbage screen resolution, etc etc.

There is something to be said about the larger variant having more room for better cameras, but outside of that, the nerfing feels almost intentional.

It's a mental illness

I always wondered how they made those

Thank you! This has always been my main gripe about "collaboration platforms" in general (Discord, Slack, Teams, WebEx, etc). It's just chat with extra steps, and does not make important information any easier to find.
