In all seriousness it’s very exciting, I just don’t need to see the same information worded 20 different ways from random clickbait sites lol

    I’m just waiting for windows 12. If reports are to be believed, it’s going to be a subscription cloud OS, probably with a thin client. If they really go through with that, then I can imagine linux gaining some ground in 2026 when windows 11 hits EOL.

        Don’t think of it like that. Think of it like, “next quarter’s profits”.

        It takes a lot of effort for non-technical people to switch to a new OS. Microsoft can capitalize on that to rake in egregious profits for probably five years or more before businesses finish sincere efforts at supporting Linux.

        Yeah, probably they aren’t, but who knows. Unity thought they were infallible and went for their “pay the installation fee or else” that gave power to engines like Godot.
