Even tho my pc can run windoes 11, still running linux on it.
TLDR; go to Linux
Sometimes the best thing to do to a Window is leave it closed, forever.
Use Windows 11

Didn’t they say at one point that windows 10 would be the last windows version as they are switching to a rolling release model?
That was just the tech weenies with their ‘architecturally sound strategy’ or whatever, before the business side
beattalked some sense into them.Which MS didn’t deny until they announced they were working on Win 11.
Well, they actually always had an End-of-Life date slated for 2025. But yeah, it wasn’t clear, if that was there just in case, or if they never expected to go through with what they’d been telling people.
[Serious question] Did Microsoft need to fundamentally change something, and that is why they back tracked on their Win10 evergreen promise? Or is this just a cash grab?
I’m sure that it’s just the marketing dept changing hands over time. Marketing teams are like a Scott’s Tots situation: they are just trying to say whatever makes the product numbers look good in the near term. Fulfilling on any promises is a future marketing team’s job.

I honestly get so sick of this cult on Lemmy. Your PC is running slow? Install Linux! Some company does something shitty? Try Linux! Sprained your ankle? Have you heard of Linux?
I have Linux installed, I still end up on Windows most of the time because I don’t have the time and patience to manually set up and configure every single thing I do on my PC, also, I like to play a lot of games and use a lot of programs that all become a choir to run if they even do on Linux.
I’m with the other guy you’re downvoting, I’m staying on 10.
Edit: I’m not going to respond to you all individually, a lot of really dumb shit has been said to me, but in particular I want to address the reccuring theme of my “being here” and “leaving”. I’m not here, I just browse All and see a ton of these posts. I don’t really subscribe to anything on Lemmy. Also, I don’t even hate Linux, I just hate your cult like mentality and the way you guys shoehorn it into every discussion, as stated previously, I have Linux installed and have used several different distros over the years.
Did you get lost and forget that this is a Linux community? Where it’s expected that people are pro-Linux?
If you like Windows, that’s fine, but I dunno what you expected from !linux@programming.dev
It’s pretty easy to not notice what community you’re in. I’m subscribed to this because I use Linux and am interested in it, but like JokeDeity I am not under the illusion that many people here are that it is really a viable alternative to Windows for anyone but a small minority for whom fixing bugs is a hobby.
I want my audio to work and my laptop to get more than 2 hours battery life and not hard reboot when it runs out of RAM.
On that last point my most recent attempt to work around the issue was by massively increasing swap. I am a professional programmer with 30 years experience. I’ve been using Linux for 25 years. Increasing swap space was difficult for me.
On Windows it’s a slider in a GUI. Just… stop pretending that Linux is on the same level, please.
it is not easy because there are critical software that people used to work that are not available in Linux such as MS Excel, solidworks, Adobe Suites.
Excel definitely has alternatives on Linux that are great, but there’s absolutely nothing even close to the Adobe Suite, no matter how hard people want to try and cope, nothing compares.
