The 365 bull was one of the final straws for me, too. I’ve decided to move both my wife’s old laptop, and my two year old 2-in-1 to Linux in the fall, when I have more time. I can’t wait. Now that I’m retired I don’t have any need to live in the Microsoft world.
I have only two IT systems now. One is a laptop dual boot with Windows 10 and Mint. The second is a desktop tri-boot with W7/W10 and Mint.
<p?
I cannot update either of them to W11, nor will I. After support for W10 runs out and it becomes increasingly difficult to secure them, then I turn to Linux for most functions.
I suppose that would be the guys and gals that understand what a “stack” is.
Windows is losing share because the interface is dull looking and you are restricted from making simple changes without getting 3rd party software or going into the registry to fix when it was lots easier in Windows 7 and earlier. It is getting more confusing with each version plus the treat of bitlocker encryption forced upon you and if corrupted causing the loss of all your files.
Adding ads to the OS does not help either.
I was debating trying it out, but I heard it isn’t 100% compatible with non System76 PCs..
It's based on Ubuntu, so I would think it'd work fine.
