    I will just wait for Windows 12. The old rule that every other version of Windows sucks still holds up to this day.

    According to the article they might be doing this to further discourage people from bypassing the hardware restrictions for installing Windows 11.

    Don’t worry Microsoft. I am fully deterred from ever installing Windows 11 on any of my current or future computers already.

    They wouldn’t be acting like this if they weren’t convinced that they are in a monopolistic situation that is strong enough to let them get away with it. They don’t seem to realize how user friendly and approachable some Linux distros have become, or at least are making the bet that most of their users won’t discover it. I hope this anti consumer attitude pushes more and more people into giving Linux a try, like it did for me.

      I really want to make the switch to Linux but all the talk about having to troubleshoot every minor thing makes me nervous. What’s the solution to malware and virus? All of the options and sub options for installing and managing things feels so daunting! Dual boots have the nightmare of windows killing the bootloader, so it’s scary to even try and dip a toe in.
