One year until Windows kills off normal Windows 10. Any predictions on what it will do for the Linux userbase? I just watched a video from ExplainingComputers on the topic, and the comment section is mostly all people making the transition.

I think the linux desktop will see a resurgence that coincides with how well LLM's improve with coding tasks and context length.

either microsoft will change the TPM2.0 restriction, or people can use the Rufus hack to make a live W11 usb. i got W11 to boot on some pretty old hardware. it aint pretty but it works.

i predict an outcry over it. people were using XP and W7 for YEARS after it was EOL. MS still put out patches for meltdown/spectre.

this is a blatant attempt to force people to buy new computers and its gross
