Sorry, but this sounds like its half bs.

It probably has less to do with "rejecting" or anything to do with RAM, and more likely to do with all the embedded systems running it, or lazy people who don't upgrade simply because they don't need to

I know lots of people running old versions of Mac OS, and it is because their hardware doesn't support newer, and it works fine for their usecase. They're not thinking about the hardware in any way.

In fact, in contrast to MacOS, Microsoft actually offers this extended support option, whereas Apple tells its users to get f'ed fairly quickly (yet another reason NOT to use MacOS / Apple. You pay a premium for hardware they often don't support for long). Also, Ubuntu offers 15 years now support for LTS (which is crazy).

I use Fedora btw.

One more year...

;-D

Windows 11 is synonymous with dog shit.

Too late, already jumped to Linux. My machine is noticeably faster doing everything now

Just reposting something. Most of it probably applies to Windows 10 too.

PSA, for people sticking to Windows:

You can get a reasonable level of privacy by installing Windows Enterprise via RUFUS, which also has options for removing restrictions during installation. Massgravel is used to activate your copy of Windows, the Github also having .ISOs for you to use with RUFUS.

ShutUp10 is a piece of software that goes a step further, allowing you to toggle off many bad things, uninstall Microsoft's AI, and gives a description of what you are tweaking does. The premium version also automatically applies your settings at all times, reverting Microsoft's constant tweaking of your settings.

i pretty much expected it would get extended... and probably will one more time, to match the three extra years win7 got with its 'esu' sub.

NO, it will only be hurt by updates, win 10 has been more stable than ever since they fucked off to molest and ruin windows 11 with AI slop.

Oh no it's windows XP all over again.

There is also aspect of hardware not having TPM 2. Which turns plenty of good hardware to junk if you stay with windows.

I hate windows but it is clear that 10 is better than 11. I love linux doe... like that whole thing with recall.... if you are using windows let me fuck your wife.

I will have to search my comment history but I called this shit a fucking year ago!

Same story every Windows update

The whole minimum HW requirements is so bullshit. I have a stick pc and a tablet with some Atom CPU, 2Gb RAM, that run W10 reasonably well. No rockets and will probably choke on many apps, but for web stuff (just don't keep more than 2-3 tabs open) media playing, and light stuff they are surprisingly capable. I have installed Antix Linux on one, and it's a really capable machine.

i still havent registered by Win 10 yet. i outlasted the OS!

That's just bs, with win11 at over 70% vs 12% win10.

Does ESU require a Microsoft Account? Because that’s probably the underhanded/shady bit of this whole thing.
