And it most definitely is a Republican value. That is the result of tax cuts, you get worse public services.

It will be really interesting to see the figures at the end of 2026, when Windows 10 has truly reached end of life, and a whole bunch of people are going to be forced to choose.

I switched to Linux in December, and it was a remarkable feeling. I don’t think I had really noticed how oppressive or depressive Windows had become (and I hadn’t even switched to Win 11, just using win 10), or how much I was actually personally affected by, but that feeling of suddenly being free when I booted up my linux was quite surprising and exhilarating.

It was like a massive weight had been lifted off of my shoulders.

And we will start pushing it again in six months time when people have forgot about now.

Bazzite or CachyOS (Bazzite for ease, CachyOS for performance).

I was also part of the December Steam Hardware Survey statistic, but that was before I switched. So the December survey has an artificially inflated Windows statistic by at least 1 user.

It’s going to be massively worse in Windows 12. There is no going back for them.

If you just read the tiniest bit of factual knowledge about how LLMs are constructed, you would know they don’t have the slightest bit of self awareness, and that it is literally impossible for them to ever have any.

Shareholders are asking for it, noone else. Consumers are irrelevant serfs who doesn’t provide the majority of profits anyway, so it is inconsequential what they think.

Not the same at all though.

The update and driver problem is just one side of the multifacetted windows 11 problems though. The ads, spyware and AI (which is definitely going to get more invasive when they stop supporting windows 10 and they know they have a captive audience) is another great reason to abandon that OS.
