    I get that legacy support sucks and nobody wants to do it, but the new product is just an ad serving platform under the guise of being an OS. Maybe try to release a good Windows platform before asking people zo switch to that, just a thought I had.

      But they don’t want you to switch to “the new cool stuff”. They want you to switch to “the ad serving platform”

        I don’t understand how so many people are taking “Program with level 0 access shipped faulty code that caused the OS to refuse to boot until a single file is removed” as “Windows bad lmao”. Not that I disagree with Windows bad, just the over liberal application and acting like this is some sort of Linux win.

        Give me kernel level access and I can make anything refuse to boot

    I was pretty happy when windows 11 came out, It finally gave the push I needed to upgrade from windows 10… to Linux.

      Believe it or not, CrowdStrike’s model forces updates and people pay a lot of money for it to “handle things” for them. I had to deploy it at a previous employer about 8 years ago. It was stupid.

      No one forces you to update. People simply choose to run an OS where automatic updates are the default.
      And that OS also lets you permanently disable automatic updates. It just doesn’t give you a straight-forward GUI option for it.

        Critically wrong in this case. Crowdstrike updates push outside of, and regardless of, os settings. This wasn’t, and never was, an os issue, it’s a crowdstrike issue. Good try though.
