I'm not sure if it would move me back to windows from Linux. Only time will tell..

Besides paying you to use Windows, what made you move from Microsoft to Linux?

Everything It's slow, it's buggy, updates are a train wreck, security, easy of use, aesthetics, support, flexibility, software, software management, shell quality, etc.

Spot on, couldn't of said it any better and it's bloaty as well.
As Dustin was saying above I cannot believe you need to have a Microsoft account now for signing on. with even more tracking embedded wouldn't surprise me.

How much has our work flow changed from using pc/laptop since the xp/win7 era? The only reason they wanted to change the OS so badly was to support the mobile and tablet market. But most people didn't want that and their mobile effort failed. They shouldn't of touched the desktop as much. They finally got somewhere with Windows 7, such a shame.There is nothing inovating about what the new Windows will be like that linux distros haven't already done.

At Least they have got rid of tiles though, another pointless addition that was that was thrown in from the mistake of windows 8.

@black3dynamite I actually have a windows licence on this machine, but moved over to linux because I'm more productive on it. I can leave it on without it forcing me to reboot or waiting forever for updates to install. I dsilike the start menu in windows 10 and half settings in control panel and other half in settings. even changing the network adapter is more clicks then it was in windows 7. the days of just right clicking and going to properties, and I dont see Ctrl + Run netcpl.cpl as productive. Linux just does updates better. both the first and 2nd feature updates killed my machine. and now bringing back widgets...fuck that's not innovation.

purchase seperatly....ermmmm wtf https://www.manualslib.com/manual/868510/Asus-H81m-P.html?page=27

With the price of components at the minute though I don't fancy building a new one.

apparenty my current Intel i5-4460 (4) @ 3.400GHz is not windows 11 supported lol

I'm seeing a lot of people moaning on twitter due to TPM 2.0 being a requirement.

What are your thoughts? at least they got rid of the tiles, can't stand them in Win10.
They are saying updates are going to be 40% lighter, We will see about that and they are going to allow win32 exe apps inside the store with android. Be interesting to see if they have moved more of the control panel items.

WHAT? Windows 10 was their last Windows they said. They also said that artificial sweeteners were safe, WMDs were in Iraq and Anna Nicole Smith married for love.

lmfao

Now that China has all but banned cryptocurrencies, GPU prices are falling like Bitcoin

It's mad how important computer chairs are for us who use computers daily. I like material chairs, but not too soft.

Bullshitting at my buddy’s shop

Reminds me of the break and fix shop I worked at in the early 00's. We also had cd's of xp,home pro etc hanging off the walls as well. They were the days.

@eleceng I'm just curious why the sudden change to Cisco?

Just looking at the state of pc components prices over here in the UK at the minute. CPU and RAM are a tad expensive at the minute...

Get meshcentral setup, won't take too long to get it up and running, then it will be easier to just add machines to if you need to later on.

@scottalanmiller yep check out the original site: https://borgbackup.readthedocs.io/en/stable/index.html

Seems smart, is it like Discord as well?
