How UI degrades over time.

Top (Windows 95): great contrast, obvious shapes. Instantly readable.

Middle (Windows 11): shapes are still self-explanatory, but contrast is gone.

Bottom (Windows 11 Insiders): what am I even looking at? The only shape I can understand here is the Run button. Barely visible, though.

Then, on the left, there’s another something that says Run and has an icon. What is it? A window title? Another button? Why does it have to say Run twice?

250 million laptops.
Two hundred and fifty million win10 laptops have been "made landfill" by windows11.

Windows 11 doesnt work, has handcuffs, is designed to spy and report, is crammed with AI, and rhe CEO saidcrecently all core functions ate broken, its written by AI.

Ram prices ate skyrocketing, malware and viruses exploding.

Nazis taking over government, led by tech Bros.

Its time.

@kevinrns @grumpy_website it’s just because of #tpm and secure boot right? Pretty sure there is a way to bypass that now.

Not only TPM ... just the amount of RAM required to run Windows is gastronomic compared to Linux.

I mean, you can get a fully fledged, top-notch 2025 user-experience on a 10 year old laptop with 8-16GB RAM and an Intel i5 CPU if you install Linux on it. And then we're talking about a Linux release from 2025.

Such a machine would barely be able to run Windows10 with a smooth user experience.

@dazo @kevinrns @grumpy_website yeah all my systems are 10+ years all #linux right now some #bsd. Besides eBay what else are some other good places to get cheap hardware?

@nixfreak @dazo @grumpy_website

Buy?

Online? Ask for free everyday, Microsoft is obsolescing 250,000,000 devices, they cannot run win11 and win10 will be virus encrusted, unsupported.

Its throw out 250 million laptops, or install linux.

Its criminal, but, possibly, a software revolution.
