I just started using the new laptop. It runs faster, has a better display, decent, small selection of ports.
Windows 11.
The older laptop will get one more makeover now, I’ll get it cleaned up, replace a fan, probably backup and swap out the SSD.
Then Linux it (dual boot). If it turns out well, I’ll probably Linux this one two.
What a fiasco from Microsoft.

Two? WTF? TOO. Maybe I’m getting senile, but this substitution of homonyms started after I got this laptop initialized.
My son set up a duel boot from my Windows 10 to Mint.
I’m liking Mint. I’m weaning myself off 10.
Yeah, I installed windows after Linux once. Hey, where’d Linux go? Oh, windows ate it.
Regardless of what we think, feel, or believe Microsoft is currently thought to be the 2nd most valuable company in the world by market capitalization at $3.51 - $3.62 trillion. Nvidia is currently number 1 and Apple is number 3. Amazon ranks 5th or 6th among the world’s most valuable companies by market capitalization. I have a hard time understanding how this is so, but love them or hate them Microsoft has been near the top of the list for decades now.
Because of my interest in locally served AI... I plan on eventually adding an Apple computer to my stable of machines, but because most of my computers are currently being used as servers Linux reigns supreme, but as noted in my first post, most of them are actually hosted in virtual machines where the most used bare metal operating systems are Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2021 LTSC and Windows 11. This is mostly for convenience, but I still appreciate having the Windows to fall back on, and I use it for video editing and most other daily computing tasks.
It is amusing to me that almost no one has a positive thing to say about Microsoft, yet somehow, they keep managing to stay at the top when it comes to Desktop Operating Systems.
For anyone not paying attention. Windows 11 is pure spyware. Its main purpose is to spy on you. Enjoy.
