I keep getting a message on my PC that the Jews over at Microsoft want me to upgrade to Windows 11

Switch to Linux.

Switch to linux. It's in every way superior to windows and very unlikely to have exploits as it's open source.

Laptop mnufacturers have contracts with Microsoft that require them to install Windows on each and every computer they sell. If they don’t, they lose the huge discount they’re getting. As most people expect Windows to be installed, that would be a major expense. So everytime you buy a laptop you are basically paying a 'microsoft tax'

They tell me mine is too shitty and it's just going to be cut off

I can't play openTTD on linux

If you ain't getting licked, don't click'd.

ill be using win10 until 2028

you can enable 'extended security updates' using windows MAS

I run gentoo, compiled with lto, pgo, graphite and O3 and some math that deviates from iso c. I am a computer wizard legend. Runs absolutely fantastic and makes me want to buy the best of everything for my computer.

Have you tried? I just checked the website and they have Linux binaries on the download page. You can probably run it through Steam if not because it's fantastic at allowing Windows-games to run on Linux.

No. Get linux or... Dare I say it, iOS.

same I can't even install new windows. My PC is only 8 years old.

Stop luring normalfags over.

"wine OpenTTD.exe"

Oh, no, this lil nigga is cooked.

They're basically saying buy a new PC or get hacked. I might just unironically become a full phonefag

your computer probably does not support windows 11 and windows 10 is out of support soon. time to reconsider your life choices

my only problem with windows 11 is you can't drag an icon to the taskbar to make the window open up.
like if i want to move something from my desktop to a folder i have open but minimized in every other iteration of windows, i'd just

click and hold icon

drag and hover over the folder's taskbar button for a second

folder unminimizes and now i can drop the file in

in windows 11 it's

click and hold icon

hold alt

hit tab, hit tab, hit tab, hit tab, hit tab, hit tab, hit tab, hit tab, hit tab, hit tab, hit tab, hit tab, hit tab, hit tab

drop into folder

I'm in the same boat, anon. I'm finally making the switch this October. I know I could probably extend it a bit but honestly I'm tired of MS's bullshit, tracking, telemetry, ads, it's all so tiresome.

Unironically, if you don't mind apple spying on your metadata, the 16-inch MacBook Pro is the safest option with good open-source antivirus and privacy tools. Lockdown mode is pretty good too.

Linux Mint.
Unless you need some proprietary software that only runs on Windows, you'll get the hang of it easily.
No forced updates.
If you need Windows, you can install Wine and run it.

If you are just the average person, you won't need Windows, nor will you miss it.

Goof for you, I made the switch last Nov and I immediately wondered why I waited so long.

no. 10 is bad enough. 11 will be a 100% everything always online data harvesting experience that won't connect to older OS. I mean it's not like you have a choice, but if you did you wouldn't take win 11.

get linux, use windows emulator if you have to run bullshit

Seriously, Linux mint and a decade old used desktop bought online is far better than most new Windows computers.

its fun to watch your ads change based on discord mic convos on a fresh install, even if you turn the shit off

I'm waiting for SteamOS to get a full-fledged PC release before switching from 10 LTSC.
I'll never use Windows 11.

iOS

on a computer

I just dropped my last windows VM off my server. I don't need it, Linux can do it all.

for real. Even if I lock my dumbphone in a faraday cage it hears me. Even if I don't vocalise the thought.
still tho, AI will never understand pic related.

Same. I really don't want to do it either, but I did my own research and found out there's just no getting around the TPM 2.0 requirement. So that means you and I WILL be upgrading to Windows 11 before October, and we will like it.

im on windows 7 still but its getting to the point where certain things i want to do no longer work which sucks.

im really considering it at this point

This and thread

fuck no, run this and it'll never auto upgrade without your permission
grc.com/incontrol.htm

it's just going to be cut off

total lie, they still support win 7 AND free upgrades from 7 to 10

also pro tip: Win 10 and 11 licenses work for either, so if you have an 11 pro license you can downgrade to 10 pro or vice versa

Unironically install Linux. Need to learn a bit to do that? Fine, learn it.

Haha, hey friendos! Any fellow Ubuntu users in the house?

kys.

Just upgrade to XP
Become unpredictable.

You have to hack an x box now to avoid windows.

One whould do this for dark web crawling live camera feeds or some such thing.

doing all that

still using AMD hardware

lmao

Uhh, It's about making a untraceable burner compter.
Don't go buy one for Walmart with plastic attached to your name that defeats half the point of it.

Switch to TempleOS immediately

I was a hacker and people are extremely stupid.
If I put a Tasmanian devil screen saver on there compter they whould freak out more then anything else because it showed a cartoon eating thete desktop files... not that I can fully zombie there computer and connected devices.
Or fart sounds on their keyboard that worked to.

I know for a fact windows 98 has a never patched back door and you can download anything to the secret file.
Personal compter protection is a joke.

I might was well be tell a cow it stupid using a compter.

There is no secret cow level.
That's the best your getting from my lawyer

They have AD's in windows now, switch to Linux mint fuck Windows

Through a series of fortuitous events, Condor was acquired by "Davidson & Associates" rebranded from Blizzard North's buy out of Davidsonville entertainment.
Diablo is an action role-playing video game developed by Blizzard North and released by Blizzard Entertainment in January 1997.

Davidsonville MD. Whould be where facebook original started with Aaron and Zuckerberg.

Hence censorship of every last thing the marry scot mushers can (((fact))) check.

Diablo 1 hacked.

being loaded in the backdoor CIA glownigger file of windows 98 was the frist socail network.

This but unironically

fippity bippity.

Oops, I meant MacOS. Yeah I don't really see the difference since I never used Apple products before. lol

I am slim shady the manager is watching me.
Like I don't know this note.
Be fouled.?

Do you think this game about killing demons has zombie chicken jockeys?

Huh? One of the first games I remember playing on Linux was openttd. Hell my distro packages it.
Also played Caesar III and some other old ass Sierra games with wine like a decade ago. Step up your game.

Zombie chicken jockey.

The sanctity of this place has been befouled.

I'm not saying it's impossible, just that I don't feel like typing a bunch of shit in a command prompt every time I need to update

unlikely to have exploits as it's open source

That's not how it works

Windows 13 will be broken windows. And all of the devil's jewish people will be absolutely destroyed long before.

They also wanted you to get a dangerous gene therapy.

Linux fucking sucks for most personal and casual corporate use compared to Windows. It will forever be a hobbyist endeavor. Why is the package manager always such a piece of shit anyway?

Isn't an Xbox one just a proprietary PC anyway? I'm pretty sure it already runs windows without digging into its guts.

Win 10 is gonna get hacked to shit after support ends
Either go Win11 or Linux

decade old example

doesn't matter
its all pozzed

You’ve been able to update all of your programs by clicking an “Update” button for like a decade lol.
It’s insane how much propaganda is still circulating about this system.

Yeah, it's how you whould make a burner hacker rig.

I worked for a school district, we'd buy roughly 300-500 machines every year (pc/laptop). Our spend was somewhere around $250,000 from Dell. One year I found out that the dell site let me choose "ubuntu" and it killed the windows license cost. We had VOL licensing or whatever, so we saved roughly $40k in windows licensing that year.

Which I turned into UPS batteries for all our IDF's. Come to find out years later that what I did was against M$ terms of our VOL, but they never knocked and I don't care.

If you're already on Windows 10, then yes you should upgrade. If you're on earlier version, then it's complicated.

Win 10 is gonna get hacked to shit after support ends

win 11 is the exact same but gayer

Get extended support for 3 years and deal with it after that.

no. come home to an OS not 100% aimed at datamining you and using you to train their AI models so they can rip you off more, an os that isn't built to install shovelware behind your back in hopes to get more sheckels from you.

Time I spend typing shit into a console and correcting mistakes is time I don't spend doing more productive or fun things. Consoles are for programmers and science/engineering.

i haven't had that experience. only time i open the console is to update the system.

maybe you should stick to your Itoddler os.

Should I do it?

No.

Instead, upgrayedd to Qubes OS.
Qubes OS: it's what plants crave!

I only use the console because I’m an actual software dev and also code for fun. If you’re not retarded like me you’ll install something like Fedora or Mint where everything just werks and you get a gui for all of it

Why not use something plug and play like bazzite for the itoddlers that want to gayme.

I've been using windows since 3.1
If Apple can figure out how to make a smooth-running accessible Unix, why can't other distro makers? How hard is this exactly? I thought you programmer nerds were good?

Because iToddlers need to grow up and stop suckling the gaymer binkie. They rot away in The Master Game, plugged into and distracted by BingBingWahooLand. It is a tragically comedic shitshow.

If you want to larp like this, you also need different BIOS, like coreboot.

kde krashma

Apple is very smooth Unix, all the cope are poorfags, the only downside is corporate spying.

Windows 11 is better in every way. It's a great operating system. Just update it. Though I still wish I could use Windows Vista forever.

You might just have to manually change some settings. Mine did the same thing and it had all the correct specs to run it. Jewggle it.

still not upgrading.

If you want to larp like this, you also need different BIOS, like coreboot.

Horse shit. Coreboot as a requirement locks the user to underpowered hardware relative to the state of the art. Link me a laptop (for example) with ≥raptor lake CPU specs, ≥128GB RAM, and ≥2 GPUs (one can be an "integrated" GPU), which runs coreboot. I'm curious. Last summer I had to buy Thinkpad 16 gen 2 off ebay because all the coreboot offerings lacked 2 GPUs on laptops. A killer nvidia card on a laptop is pretty useless for Qubes if it's the only GPU, dom0 will always hold it.

Check system76 laptops.
