What will you do once windows 10 is deprecated and you have to update to windows 11 or 12? (kbin.social)

Windows 11 keeps trying to install different stuff, notifying you about how great edge is, requires new hardware, and more. Windows 12 is rumored to be cloud only with a subscription?

What will do you?

windows, what's that?

[–] Sarie@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

I'm planning on dual booting to test the waters and hopefully phase out windows for good in the next years.

If Game Maker ends up releasing their Linux IDE in a non-beta state, I'll switch to Linux tomorrow. It's one of the few tools still keeping me on Windows.

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago

Do my best to switch from windows to whatever Linux distro I've finally decided on. Anything I really need win10 for will just end up on a VM that I'll probably store a copy of on an external drive. It'll make things so much easier for me that way.

I'd get the best of both worlds, so long as I completely de-creepify the copy of win10 in the VM. Thank goodness there are tools for that.

Still too much of a VR player to switch to Linux :/

Might get some hate from this, but... It's not as easy of a transition for everyone as the Linux crowd says it is.

I'm hoping Valve will start putting more effort into SteamVR for Linux and/or Proton for VR.

Switch to Linux. In fact, I already switched when Windows 10 came around. I don't miss Windows to be honest. The only time I use Windows is to play games that arent compatible with Linux or if I need to use an app that is only available for Windows.

[–] dirtySourdough@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Actually switch to Linux. I already use Linux for a large portion of my work, so I'm comfortable with it. I just need to find and test some replacements for some Windows software and I should be good

I'll complete skip win11. So far there's no reason to upgrade. Win11 should logically be a good windows again.

[–] Kedly@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

Linux, Gaben be praised for lowering the bridge

[–] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

I'm already never touching win 11, so if Win10 goes, so do I. No way in hell will I run another MS OS.
