[A]n INI configuration file in the Windows Canary channel, discovered by German website Deskmodder, includes references to a "Subscription Edition," "Subscription Type," and a "subscription status."

Windows 12? Did they ever explicitly revoke the "Windows 10 will be the last"?

I thought 11 was an exception die to the hardware requirements.

But I guess any big enough change can be a new reason for the next.

Win10 support ends in 2025. It is not in fact the last version of Windows like they originally claimed.

I'll switch to fucking Apple before I pay a subscription for Windows.

Too sad that there is not the Office suite for Linux because it's really powerful
(I do use Open and LibreOffice at work. Personally they are mostly worse in comparison.)

Besides that I don't have a high dependance except for games. And looking at my SteamDeck it's not a high dependency.
If Steam can solve the anticheat and maybe even releases SteamOS as a desktop distro it would be very tempting to switch if I can't get anything else than a subscription or a free key.

We need to support true open hardware or less ACPI-WIndows first one. MS can do whatever they want with their OS BUT it should not mess with hardware.

I expected Framework to be a FOSS first laptop but eventually, it just became a wintel derivative.
