Over at Ars Technica, senior tech reporter Andrew Cunningham does a great job of comparing and contrasting #Windows10 and #Windows11. #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/12/remembering-the-best-and-worst-about-windows-10-on-the-year-it-technically-died/
Remembering what Windows 10 did right—and how it made modern Windows more annoying

Remembering Windows 10's rollout can help diagnose what ails Windows 11.

With a nod to Raymond Chandler, I ponder #Windows10's upcoming decline in its era of "extended support." #WindowsInsiders #MVPbuzz https://www.edtittel.com/blog/windows-10s-long-goodbye.html
Windows 10's Long Goodbye - Ed Tittel

Windows 10's long goodbye probably won't stretch out as far as Windows 7's did, but it's going to take 5+ years to fade below 10% share.

@die_connie Ich habe in der letzten Zeit mehrere Laptops von #windows10 auf Linux umgestellt und kann Linux Mint durchaus empfehlen (auch wenn ich beruflich eher mit #SUSE und #RedHat zu tun habe).

Bei Fragen hier am besten den Hashtag #linux mit aufnehmen (oder gerne auch mich taggen).

#Linux

Ein #Windows10 Rechner aus der Familie ist final in die Knie gegangen und hat wohl Teile (~1%) der Windows Partition auf der SSD zerlegt. Eventuell ist auch die GPU gestorben, muss im Grunde nicht ersetzt werden, beim Booten kommen Meldungen von wegen Hardware hat sich geändert. Windows Installations-/Recovery USB Images zeigen erst Windows Logo beim Laden, dann aber nur bläulicher Hintergrund und Mouse (Sprachausgabe geht per Tastatur), sonst keinerlei Menü.

Had fun last night. My son wanted to stream a show on our #linuxmint #windows dual boot PC. #Linux was having a little kernal issue related to lack of disk space; easy fix, but not just before bedtime, so I just booted to windows as a stopgap. Surprise! #windows10 had done some unwanted update, installed that evil #Copilot AI spyware, taken over my boot process and greyed out the pause update option. The bloody nerve! We hadn't used windows for months, so that was the cataylist to finally flush #microsoft for good. Been up since 5am; just wiped the partition and given it to LinuxMint. Now for deleting those pesky boot menu options....

#Windows 11 : la chienlit de 2025

Que se passe-t-il en ce moment avec #Windows11 ? Depuis quelques mois, #Microsoft semble accumuler les boulettes, dans une avalanche de problèmes techniques, alors même que #Windows10 n’a plus de support. Les annonces sur l'#IA et la montée en puissance de #Linux sur les jeux n'arrangent pas la situation.

Windows 11 : la chienlit de 2025 - Next

2026 is almost here - but let's look back at 2025 with the End Of 10 campaign at the Chaos Communication Congress.

"We thought big and acted boldly. In this talk End Of 10 contributors will discuss the campaign, what has worked and what the challenges have been, and how FOSS provides a solution to software-driven resource and energy consumption."
