    On one hand, eff Microsoft and install Debian. It’ll run on a potato.

    On the other hand, I look forward to the coming glut of secondhand PCs I can install Debian on.

    As melon scratchers go, that’s a honey doodle.

      Why would you scratch a melon? How would you even know if it’s itchy???

      Can you scratch pumpkins too?

      I think we’re gonna see a dramatic rise in Linux systems in the coming years if Microsoft keeps this course. Nvidia have started upping their Linux driver game as well so it’s gonna be a breeze to pick up decent second hand systems and reselling them with a proper OS that’ll take us to the end of the world in 24 years.

          If you’re on a kernel newer than 5.6 (which is almost 5 years old now so you should be) you already have 64-bit time.

          And yet it’s stayed true. Linux is above 1% on steam and rising every year, it’s never been easier to buy a Linux device, or install and use Linux for desktop consumer purposes, and even the tech uninformed know Microsoft is a bag of dicks.
