everyone switches to alternative OSes any%
Man, Microsoft doubling down on the whole "Let's force most of our customers to purchase entirely new computers to use the next release!" strategy after it went so well for Windows 11 is just hilarious. Especially with hardware costs skyrocketing due to AI BS.

Me getting ready to buy their old CPU and put Linux on it:
MS would be wild to expect people to buy a new machine before 2036. Consumer prices aren’t going to magically fall.
Either this is incorrect info, a huge flop, or MS really doesn’t care if home users switch to Linux from all the cash flowing in from businesses.

Oh my God they're gonna do it again? I'm so fucking giddy rn
So glad Win 10 was the last one for me.
Jesus Christ.
The Microslop train doesn't stop. It doesn't falter. It doesn't slow.
Microslop gon give it to ya.
It’s not clear whether Windows 12 will welcome any non-NPU processors. More likely, PCs that don’t meet its system requirements will lose some functionality.
They will lose some functionality, only if we accept that the slop features meet the definition of what makes a piece of functionality. They seem to not function quite a lot still.
Scuz me, I'm gonna go hug all my Linux boxes right now
More gear into the second market. Nice.
Y'all know this article is based on a fake article, right?
Please do it. And end support for Windows 11 in 2027!
