Damn, that never happens on my Arch Linux install.
I've also never once been prompted to install Win11 on Neon
I dual boot windows because of a few things that don't matter too much to me, and i haven't really figured out wine as much as i should. Anyway, i booted up windows again after like 5 months. I hated every second of it, but overall, nothing of note happened. The next day, i had to boot windows again, and when i shut it down, it gave me the option to update and reboot or update and shut down, nothing else. I should've just unplugged my pc, but I updated and shut it down and left my room. When i came back a few hours later, my pc was stuck in a reboot loop and i couldn't really boot anything. Just fuck everything about windows.
If you dual boot, you need to keep the windows partition on a separate disk, otherwise it will most likely fuck your boot partition.
Honestly disconnect all other disks when installing it too. Otherwise you move your Linux disk to another computer and Windows might not boot because it decided to use the efi partition on your Linux disk
I'm deeply sorry. If it's any consolation, it will eventually happen to everybody.
Or at least everybody that didn't see the light and adopt The Penguin... But let's leave religion to another time.
False. My machine officially isn't upgradeable to W11 cause it's too old. Also, it's possible that LTSC doesn't even suggest to upgrade.
BTW, Arch is awesome.
( actually, i use Manjaro. but it's based on arch. so that still counts, right?)
manjaro has had a lot of drama and problems in the past and i don't think it's really a good distro to use. they forgot to renew their ssl certificate multiple times, they break software due to their weird update strategy (they use custom repos which hold back updates mostly arbitrarily for a week) which breaks dependencies and sometimes breaks the entire system, and their gui package manager once overwhelmed the AUR with traffic.
a better alternative with an easy gui installer would be endeavouros or cachyos. endeavour is basically manjaro except competent and with regular arch packages. cachy has its own repos (in order to build specialized versions of packages), but it keeps in sync with the regular arch repos.
though of course if manjaro is working for you that's great and any amount of linux use is good. manjaro is just a bit temperamental. i also understand that some people can't just distrohop, for example because they don't have a separate home partition, or not enough space to copy important files elsewhere before wiping their partitions.
As a end user I definitely wouldn't recommend Manjaro right now, especially with the current organization drama right now, Manjaro's 2.0 manifesto. After they restructure themselves, it might come out as a more interesting distro, but for now it's best to steer clear.
Oh did they renew their ssl certs so their repos work now?
Lol I cannot understand how anyone can trust those idiots at this point.
so that still counts, right?
Still counts. You now have to say you use arch every hour, otherwise you'll implode.
No, it doesn't count. You only get BTW privileges after installing Arch at least once.
Don't leave us hanging. What distro?

Half a dozen of them have real cost/benefits trade-offs that make preaching for a single one harmful. The other thousand are just completely useless waste of time not worth mentioning.
More like a downgrade
ZorinOS is nice to Windows users if you want ui similarity
I installed Zorin on a second hand thinkcentre yesterday to test out, and I really like it. I use Mint on my laptop, and I'm pretty satisfied with that. I'm evaluating both of them as a permanent replacement for windows 11 on my main PC and it's down to those two.
My son tried it after avoiding Linux for months. He didn't like Zorin and eventually settled on CachyOS.
Thank god it requires enabling something my BIOS has disabled by default and I don't need it for anything, otherwise my install of 10 would have already been turned into 11 on its own.
My BlueIris Server: Press any key to install windows 11 Me: ehh fine, i don't ever touch that box, Click My BlueIris Server: Sorry you computer doesn't support windows 11, you should replace...
One day Frigate, one day, but today is not your day.
That happened to me, but I'm happy with CachyOS now for most things. I can't believe how much it a step down 11 was from 10 though, it was astounding. Worse than 7 to 8, even.
Poser! A real Roman would just fall on his sword.
