If you’re already with Linux, this is not for you. This is for people who’re indecisive or been contemplating for long about whether to make that jump.
For me, it’s a matter of a few things. I’m on a Windows 10 version that guarantees me until 2032 of support. That means I would effectively skip Windows 11, like I already mostly have and potentially skip Windows 12 if that turns out to be a shitty choice. I’d be coming in right in time for whatever Microslop shits out for Win13.
Should Windows 13 suck, I think that’s a consideration. Another consideration is when Valve keeps dropping support for certain Windows versions of Steam. Because I know for a fact they will drop Windows 10 support entirely one day and then Windows 11. I believe it is really stupid that they do this.
By the time my Windows 10 version expires, I’d be getting older, which means I’ll probably care less and less about computer-related things. Going to Linux wouldn’t be a problem since I’d be doing barebones things like browsing and checking e-mail.
And I’d also hope that by 2032, Linux would have better development like easier access to proprietary drivers and software among other things.
Hoestly same.
If linux meets your needs, cool. I’m even a little jealous, but please, linux guys, understand that not everyone has the same needs as you.
I need my personal computer to get out of the way and let me do other stuff, not be a project in itself. If you’re a developer, desktop Linux is pretty good at that. Lots of nice compilers and versioning systems and IDEs and runtime environments to play around with. If you’re literally anyone else it just doesn’t cut it.
I have been trying to use Linux since 2009. I keep trying, but it never gets any better for my needs. In fact it has gotten worse.
