It’s mind boggling to me that they throw these amounts of money around like it’s nothing, but the idea of giving their customer service reps, or helpdesk staff a dollar an hour raise for example, is scoffed at.
Or thé fact that Windows 10 will lose the updates in a month and 400M PC will turn to junk as they can’t update to W11
Linux mint cinnamon - even my dad has no issues using it
Yeah that’s always an option but I doubt many will give it a go…
Mine could have “updated” to Win11 but I turned to Linux. It was really easy to install and get running, I even had less (less, not none) problems with the printer driver than I had back on windows for whatever reason.
I know some specific programs do not have a Linux alternative (yet?) but if you’re not one of those who needs them going Linux let’s you give that PC of yours more lifetime. And even if you are you can just swap your old device to Linux to try stuff out with, since you need to get a new device for Win11 anyways… These devices are only junk if Windows is all you can think in.
We all can start running away as much as possible from Windows to force them to improve their crappy aspects, the big problem is to get enough people to start running.
Linux is the way!
