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.

Not OP, but it’s still lack of hardware support for me. I tried to daily Linux on my laptop and gave up in frustration after several months because a few key pieces of hardware are not supported and seemingly never will be.

Going to guess his pain points are the fingerprint reader and possibly wifi/blutooth chipset. There are some of those supported but that’s still the spottiest in terms of driver support under Linux. Maybe also webcam but generally those work fine these days.
