So I got hit with Microsoft's Windows 11 nag screen... - lemm.ee

… as explained here [https://www.theverge.com/2024/4/11/24127497/microsoft-windows-10-upgrade-prompt-windows-11]. Basically Microsoft presents this “incredible” product, and then says in the same breath: “Oops, not for your current setup. Maybe you should consider buying a new PC?” Really!? 😠 If only Linux were ready for mainstream use…

What is it specifically about Linux that doesn’t work for you?

I’m asking because I’ve been using it for almost a quarter of a century as my main desktop.

Tried setting it up once on an old pc to have it as a kinda streaming thingy behind the tv. Never finished the project. First I was overloaded with options. Which Linux version, picked Ubuntu because why not? Did the download and could not find a USB stick at home that’s bigger than 2gb. Tried installing on a hard drive in my pc didn’t work. Gave up after that.
