actually i bet $100 microsoft knows exactly what the problems will be i mean i hope so they designed it
yep i bet $100 itll be bad
Not technical, but to support virtual meetings. If you dwell deeper into the webcam requirements, you can see it is all about higer quality video cameras for the new normal.
That's an interesting point. I'm sure the grunts that built the system know what the problems are and they've told management too. Upper management in big corporations make decisions not based in logic and reason, they make decisions base on Ego. When they're told that this and that is a problem, they choose not to believe the engineers because it's not what they want to hear. Even when they've been told that something's wrong, months or even longer ago, they will be totally surprised and astonished when it finally surfaces in customer complaints. In their minds when they decide something does not exist, it doesn't.
you will no longer be part of the 98+%? of people (who all use Windows) and are likely going to have issues with something (like finding out steam will install, but not all steam games you bought support Linux) hence only attempting to try it out on a junk PC you’re no longer going to use for *anything*. In my opinion Windows is more “user friendly” and more “user resilient” for certain things (like finding how to fix PC problems on the internet) so it’s a good choice to keep Windows for someone already using Windows who doesn’t want to mess around with or learn about computers. Linux is for people who are willing to learn something new for (insert reason).it is said to be a lighter install, smaller patches, faster booting and more current day virus resistant as in better defense vs ransomware.
Do people get viruses anymore? I can buy hardware to get TPM now on W10 if that's my concern. Lighter install, faster boot times... pretty inconsequential, assuming it's even true. The install might be low but then install a ton of bloatware.
And it seems none of that actually answers the "how" of it, while the last sentence implies something:
I found this recently, and it was interesting to read... (though the lack of proper punctuation kills me)Warning: Linux Evangelizing in 3..2..1..
For anyone who is/may/eventually/has to buy a new PC and have Windows on it (like if Windows 11 obsoletes your current system and will not work with it), I would like to suggest that you don’t donate/throw away your old system immediately. As soon as you’re “done with your old PC” *and it’s trash to you*, try installing Ubuntu (it’s free) on it and give it a chance. I suggest Ubuntu only because it has a “simple/normal” installer and should just work. I’m sure some other Linux users would disagree with me
yes, you’re going to feel like ubuntu sucks because it doesn’t look and act exactly like Windows, but just try it out. Browse the web, check your email, install whatever and try to do your “normal stuff”. Just test the waters of not using Windows. Likely you’ll find that there is something you just have to have that’s only Windows compatible, and that’s good because then you can decide if that’s reason enough you need Windows in some future PC purchase.
If nothing else, it might give you reason to keep your old PC and get more life out of it vs throwing it in the trash.
if you’re not “a computer person” or don’t have the time or care to mess with it, sure don’t give it a try. It’s not for everyone but it may open your eyes to exactly what you need/use that’s Windows only and it might save you some money in the future should it be useful to you.
note: switching away from Windows is not always a walk on the park because “everyone uses Windows”.

Not sure what flavor of Linux you're running, but any issues with streaming sites are entirely browser related, and have very little to do with the OS. I've had zero issues with any streaming site using Chrome or Firefox.
Yeah, I do agree on the “relative ease of use” but I still know people (friends and family) who are just not willing to mess with it. I’ve tried and lost the battle. I was able to get 1 person to switch to an Apple MacBook, which is sort of a “win” and they love it over Windows, but then again they weren’t really doing anything special (no special apps, for work, etc).edit: and they spent a bizillion dollars for it(ha) but I got to have their old laptop as they no longer wanted it. So it sorta kept some old hardware out of a landfill.
but that’s my general experience.
