What will you do once windows 10 is deprecated and you have to update to windows 11 or 12? (kbin.social)

Windows 11 keeps trying to install different stuff, notifying you about how great edge is, requires new hardware, and more. Windows 12 is rumored to be cloud only with a subscription?

What will do you?

Hopefully I will be on SteamOS or some other Linux distribution by them.

I'm planning on dual booting to test the waters and hopefully phase out windows for good in the next years.

Actually switch to Linux. I already use Linux for a large portion of my work, so I'm comfortable with it. I just need to find and test some replacements for some Windows software and I should be good

[–] ikidd@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

There's also a chance you might get your Windows software working via Wine.

Bet you anything they'll extend the EoL for Windows 10

I'm running Windows 11 now since I do a lot of PC gaming. Once you spend half an hour turning off the privacy-invading crap, it's pretty much still Windows 10.

I'll complete skip win11. So far there's no reason to upgrade. Win11 should logically be a good windows again.

Switch to Linux. In fact, I already switched when Windows 10 came around. I don't miss Windows to be honest. The only time I use Windows is to play games that arent compatible with Linux or if I need to use an app that is only available for Windows.

Trash my win install. I dual boot with Linux already but I never really use windows. I keep it in case I need for a game...which honestly hasn't happened yet.

[–] Skyline969@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago

If Game Maker ends up releasing their Linux IDE in a non-beta state, I'll switch to Linux tomorrow. It's one of the few tools still keeping me on Windows.

[–] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I'm already never touching win 11, so if Win10 goes, so do I. No way in hell will I run another MS OS.

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

Linux, Gaben be praised for lowering the bridge

[–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

Looking at Linux Mint or Nobara already

[–] Neikon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

In my windows 10 server change to Ubuntu. In my personal pc continue using windows 11 or 12 when release
