Windows 12 May Require a Subscription - Lemmy.world

[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.”

Maybe this will finally convince the world to move to Linux Mint
You’ll be surprised how resistant people are to learning something new.
This has always been the truth. People don’t switch to something just because, unless you’re just naturally adventurous like me. A lot of individuals will drown on a sinking ship, just because learning something new takes more effort, than they’re willing to put in

unless you’re just naturally adventurous like me

LMAO

People like you are the reason I haven’t tried Linux.

I’m not up my own ass enough to proudly declare myself “naturally adventurous,” but I have stayed at a few Holiday Inn Expresses in other towns before. I use Debian and Ubuntu somewhat regularly, but mostly use Windows and MacOS in daily life, and I don’t understand where the “sinking ship” metaphor comes in. Microsoft will attempt this recurring-revenue monetization, and it will either be successful, or it won’t; Windows won’t go away if it isn’t. Otherwise, Apple prints money from its beautifully made consumer-friendly hardware, which also features shockingly good in-house silicon.

No ships are sinking. This isn’t some grand narrative where Linux awaits us all at the end of personal-computing history.
