The #EndOf10 is nigh. This time it's interesting. Previous #Windows iterations there was some grumbling, but in my memory it wasn't nearly this much back lash. I feel like Win10 plus the available hardware hit a balance of usability that most users found fine, and Win11 doesn't add enough to change.

Not everyone can just switch to #FOSS. I get that. But I'm curious how long it takes for people the realize that #Microsoft is pushing non-local accounts to make the OS a monthly subscription.

@thatdnaguy And especially going forward. Not everybody uses those specialized applications only available on Windows. In fact, I'd argue most people just needing a web browser and other basic applications are going to be just fine on Linux. Sure, there will be some rough edges from time to time, but that was also the case on Windows.

Linux vs Windows etc - User Interface... 

@cameron_bosch @thatdnaguy The Linux community isn't the most dynamic when it onboarding or making it easier - but dual boosting via usb and other things have helped.

But the people are mostly in Tech / coding / fiddling land - not people orientate... WHICH IS WHAT YOU NEED to get people out of Windows and even improving Linux from demand of non-command-line users ⬅️ This is the line I think that needs to be redrawn constantly and while it's somewhat happening and safer that way (not from users perhaps!) and even some UI for packages exist - STILL I think you need User INTERFACE!! LOL ...

Ah the people playing linux playstation :linux: might get that one day... I said to - you want community you have to go get it and put people on it - no answer to those question but did answer my technical things! No wonder Tech people can feel alone!

and I *might* be wrong!

sudo install windowsinterface.pkg switch 1 switch 2 manually type this + try a dir somewhere on the system + find it in obscure-named directories

And you 100% need internet every 2mins for tutorials (if it exists!). <--- also getting better.

BUT Windows? ➡️ Download
+open self-excecutable
+ follow on screen instructions!
+ (pressing next mostly!)

Big difference!!

(again balance of easy = viruses
and hard = nobody uses)

Linux Playstation "for those who already" ™️ or else try alone!
