Anything to not install Linux right?

[–] BigTrout75@lemmy.world 18 points 10 months ago

It is funny how they complain but don't leave. It's just a bad relationship.

Trash filler article, TLDR use Rufus to make installation media 🙄

Wake me when I get 11 without the anal probing and walled garden.

[–] Noodle07@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

What about my anal probing?

All consumers should be off 10 by now

[–] RippleEffect@lemm.ee 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Windows 10 still works fine and a lot of what 11 disqualified was perfectly capable hardware.

Those people would be in n Linux by now

The EOL hasn’t been a secret

[–] RippleEffect@lemm.ee 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm guessing the majority of those people barely know how to work a computer.

For example, I'm either going to need to swap my mother's computer over to something Linux or give her something supported. Not currently sure which but since everything is web based anyways, I think Linux would be ok for her.

If it were up to her, she will use it well out of support before buying a new laptop.

Just set my MIL up on Linux Mint. The two things she uses her computer for are email and web browser, so it doesn't make any difference to her.

[–] RippleEffect@lemm.ee 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Right, but you had to do it for her. Not a huge deal, but still something nonetheless.

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

A new windows computer I would have had to set up for her as well.

Just spreading the good word for those still stuck/attached to Windows. You can get W11 IoT Enterprise LTSC which has no bullshit. Would be a shame to waste time looking for it, and a permanent activation on websites such as massgravedotdev.

Edit: this version is FANTASTIC for gaming. Doesn't even have Xbox or M$ Store bloat. Feels like PC gaming back in the XP and 7 days.

[–] TacoSocks@infosec.pub 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I wonder if LTSC won't have recall.

[–] Codilingus@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

The IoT Enterprise LTSC won't have recall or copilot. It gets Edge and that's it.

[–] Mataresian@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Wasn't that one expensive or hard to get?

[–] Codilingus@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 months ago

Its hard to get, but I'm not sure about pricing, since they only sell it via business volume licensing.

[–] SharkAttak@kbin.melroy.org 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yes but, then I'd have Win11 installed.

[–] Codilingus@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

Then that comment isn't for you.....
