They definitely want to, this news "leak" is meant to determine if they will.

Since when has windows 11 been deprecated? After windows 7 I switched to Linux and all I hear is new windows is around the corner and even worse! How does this company even keep customers, when all they do is upgrade their windows?!

This is what happens when one part of their business (Game Pass) does well and they want to translate that success to other operations. What they don’t realize is that Windows is less a product and more a service, and you can’t make money on services. Not for long, anyway.

Anyone got any good reccs for Linux? Preferably something that plays nicely with both laptop and desktop.

I've had a very good experience with Fedora for the past few years, but I've also heard good things about Endeavor OS for an Arch based experience

I've been running PopOS, and it's been flawless.

[–] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

Like the others say, Linux Mint. If you wanna spend a bunch more time configuring everything and solving issues then you can use other distros like Arch and Debian. For new users though, I suggest Linux Mint.

Pop_OS is where it's at

[–] ares35@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

I've been enjoying Windows 10 with some of the shite stripped out and will probably be sticking to that for the foreseeable future. Still, cringe.
