So it's working as planned?

Thanks for letting me know! You're not going to believe this, but I, too, use Arch.

The 24H2 update would not install on a brand new prebuilt PC that I bought for my parents. I contacted both the manufacturer and Microsoft and spent too many hours troubleshooting before I gave up and returned it to where I bought it as defective. Back to the drawing board for a replacement PC for my parents.

WHY ARE YOU NOT UPDATING TO WIN ELEVEN? Hard to recommend this OS without QA.

Agile has been a mistake for the software industry. It did nothing except to give executive more avenue to force changes to the software that are being developed and in the end it'll take a longer time to have production ready software when compared to traditional waterfall approach.

Your OS isn't getting regular updates!!!

This is a feature imo.

So you're saying I'll be safe from this if I stick with win 10 past October?

That update made me buy my first Framework laptop! Fuck Microsoft!!

I love my 13". Does exactly what I need. I kind of want the 12", but I don't really need it. So i'm going to hold off.

I switched to Mac after my old Asus laptop went out. I figure why bother with a PC laptop, it’s not gonna game and let’s see what the fuss is about. Love my MacBook Air. So then our desktop dies and I give my wife 3 options. A Mac, a cheaper PC, and a more expensive PC. She’s Android, figured she’d want to stick with Windows, but she picked the Mac! So happy. I mostly game on Switch and Xbox these days so that’s fine.

I keep feeling like I left Windows at the right time.

Being happy for someone switching to mac and being on lemmy where everyone is on the Linux train, was not on my bingo card.

Unix unity. Linux 💜 Mac 💜 BSD

Thanks I guess? Surely Mac and Linux users can be friends or at least allies against Windows. Linux comes from UNIX which macOS is based on so they’re very similar, only one is FOSS — which I suppose is the point — and the other is not. But another commonality — Macs and PCs can both run Linux.
