nixCraft π§Support for Windows 10 will end in October 2025. Rip goat. Would you upgrade to Win 11 ? Or something else? https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/end-of-support
Emma@nixCraft i will keep using windows 10 well past its expiry date. the way things are going, "no updates" isn't a threat, it's a relief.

Lukas Brausch@nixCraft "goat" like in "greatest of all time"? Why would you call Windows 10 that? π€―

Win10 it's now the new Win7 β¨
Years will pass until Win 12 or 13 fix the AI disease, so...
Pascal Leinert@nixCraft I have no device that could officially run Windows 11.
Paul.@nixCraft My work laptop ran win10. I went to win11 when most of our customers had done so, to be able to support them. I still have to see the 'benefits' this site claims, and with recall and copilot coming, I would say win10 is king for those who love microsoft. I'll never leave my private linux machines. Nope.

γͺγΌγγ€@nixCraft I will never install W11 on a personal device if Microsoft still has the AI baked into the system.
Zep@nixCraft in the context of gaming I'm just a bit worried about the viability of modded Assetto Corsa, my Valve Index and my ancient Logitech G27 racing wheel all working in harmony on linux...

bhaugland@nixCraft which mean a ton of new e waste as many peopleβs machines wonβt run windows 11.
Consume and submit
theM0ntarCann0n@bhaugland @nixCraft which mean tons of free computers for me to play with. Also only thing you can upgrade windows 10 is *NIX because win11 is downgrade.

SiliconFarmer@nixCraft I will keep using my Win10 system, offline after 2025. Android and Linux devices online.

@nixCraft wonder if it'll still activate.
I'm going to put up a pc with a smol partition for the fewer and fewer games requesting windows, and I'm not going to install that 11 chesspool if I can avoid it.

Michal Ε pondr@nixCraft Someone watching your site is about to be affected by a Windows version switch? π§
senna.apk@nixCraft I have only been keeping a Win10 install for gaming, and Linux gaming has gotten so good that I never use it anymore. I'm not installing Win11, too much ads and AI to touch it with a 10 ft pole. I'll probably just reclaim the disk for storage when Win10 hits EOL.
portugalense@nixCraft I love how the solution in case of incompatibility is to buy a new pc :-)

JoSomewhere on my transition list is transitioning 100% off windows. My desktop is Win 11 (mistake it's not 10), and it plays games, but it's going to probably be the last Microsoft product I use (other than Java Minecraft).
Well my phone keyboard is also a Microsoft product, and I'll transition my phone after my PC space.
Joseph Dickson@nixCraft everyone agrees XP was the GOAT Windows version. Y'all trolling us. π
Debian for the win.
Liam Proven@josephdickson @nixCraft BS they do.
Win2K. Absolutely positively the highpoint. XP was bloated BS.
SirWumpus πΎπ@nixCraft Something else (finally) - A BSD desktop with Wine I suppose. Don't want ads, AI, telemetry, spyware, etc Something fit & lean.
@nixCraft Wonder if I can get a refund on the Windows tax still?
@nixCraft I quit using windows on my personal machines when OS/2-warp was released. (actually a month before - I got OS/2 package with a free warp upgrade when it was released)
Brick Duck@nixCraft I side-graded to Linux. Not all my favorite software works, but I don't feel like a faceless corp is monitoring me to figure out how best to monetize my use of a computer.

RejZoR@nixCraft I've upgraded to Ubuntu/Fedora/Manjaro instead except for the gaming system for obvious reasons. I like GNOME more than entire stupid Windows 11 experience.
Michal Nemecek@nixCraft welp, time to get a new PC (my current build is missing a TPM chip and probably doesn't have the connector needed to add one)
Rustem Zakiev π₯@nixCraft that is actually how I switched to Linux - when MS discontinued win7 support and upgrading from win7 to win10 bricked my laptop unbootable.
mingu@nixCraft I'm gonna use Windows 10 LTSC for a few more years after EOS then install Linux instead. Not gonna install Win11.
