Raising this dead article as Microsoft now delivers extended support pricing details for those who choose not to migrate to the newer version of Windows. The one they were told they’d not ever have to migrate to
I had to upgrade to Win 11 today ;(
Hyper-V configuration version 9.3 and above is not available on Win 10.
And yes I know about Linux, my laptop runs it. But I’m not in the mood of migrating a fuck ton of stuff to another OS. I have around 20 TB of storage on my PC and redoing everything should be a pain.
I also don’t want to forget my Windows knowledge overtime.
I will absolutely disable as much bullshit as possible though. I didn’t even have web search in the search bar in win 10 (because it broke the search bar, but still).
Had to use win11 yesterday.
It was completely unusable fucking trash and even the ux was terrible.
If it helps, my media drives transferred straight over to Linux when I cleaned by last windows device.
Yeah, I actually liked the start menu in Win 10. Very customizable and usable if you actually spend some time to set it up.
Now the start menu is barebone bullshit.
Even the visuals; no contrast, no style, no visual economy, no virtue of any kind.
It was completely unusable fucking trash and even the ux was terrible.
How do you say this with a straight face. I know, just know, you want to push Linux, it’s a must here on Lemmy, but to say it’s unusable trash does more to denigrate my opinion of your opinion than my opinion of the OS. It functions substantially similar to W10.
I want to truly know what you mean. What did you try to do but were 100% prohibited doing due to W11?
Yeah, I guess. It’s just too much work.
Maybe when I can finally afford to offload all the Plex and piracy tools and especially the media content from the PC to a server. I could also migrate all the services to docker but docker on Windows is a bit annoying to use.
Another factor is that I’m honestly pretty good with Windows and I can fix most issues easily so Windows just works.
Linux mostly just works out of the box, but fixing issues is more complicated for me on Linux and issues have been comparatively common on my Linux laptop.
I also like to do stuff on my PC which can be more complicated to Linux due to a lack of support. Gaming primarily but that is getting much better, I also like to try some professional software occasionally and those often don’t work on Linux.
But all things considered I really like Linux, I just won’t migrate my main PC any time soon.
