Just a casual couple thousands of tons of perfectly usable computing hardware going to a landfill for literally no reason but greed and lack of accountability.
I'm absolutely certain the grammatical clusterfuck in so many memes and posts is done fully consciously. Like, someone sat there and actually thought about how to make it grammatically fucked yet get the point across, just to get those extra comments pointing it out.
And it's fucking horrifying that this is where we are, deliberately making things dumb to get more "clicks".
I feel like Microsoft fully intends to remove the TPM 2.0 requirement in the nearish future
Otherwise it wouldn't be so easy to disable when writing an iso to a USB drive.
Looking at it from a capitalistic point of view, they gain nothing by keeping people from installing their OS on the long term, the lock out was just for the short-term gains they got out of OEMs selling new computers for Windows 11 and such.
Yeah. Gotta find a distro soonish. My 3-4 year old laptop tried to update to W11 and has failed twice. Guess it doesn't meet the hardware reqs. (Thank you RNGesus)
In the last month, I made a genuine effort to switch to Linux Mint, then Bazzite, as my daily driver. Mint could not run Hitman 3 for unexplained reasons. Bazzite frequently got graphical corruption issues when returning from sleep. Neither could run niche indie games and gave no error codes.
I knew I’d be doing some tweaking to get Linux working how I wanted, but it was missing configuration as well as being unreliable by default. I like the principle of using a non-MS OS, but I need it to work.
What if y'all get together, and make a guide on an easy way to switch to idk Arch, since Valve is working with it.
You know, so that they don't have to spend a lot of money, and don't have to worry about losing all their data, and hopefully so they don't have to learn everything about Linux so they can enjoy using it right away.
Ha, I almost believed that was realistic rereading it.
They just fired two workers for organizing a protest against supporting Israel. You don't have to make up conspiracy theories to convince people that Microsoft: Bad.
The biggest issue with Linux at the moment isn't the os. It's the community, and because of that, they keep scaring off developers, and ironically many developers only stick around now because they're hired by a large company
I've seen so many developers (including myself), who got smashed by the community so we just gave up
It has definitely gotten better though (vastly) in the past 20 years
