What will you do once windows 10 is deprecated and you have to update to windows 11 or 12? (kbin.social)

Windows 11 keeps trying to install different stuff, notifying you about how great edge is, requires new hardware, and more. Windows 12 is rumored to be cloud only with a subscription?

What will do you?

Man it is just not like that. At least for me I tried to switch to Linux a while back and had nothing but problems.

You also have to realize that most people coming from windows have years of experience with that operating system and learning something brand new can be a challenge.

On the Linux community site I agree there's a lot of people trying to help but very few of that trickles down to the end user. When you Google something you inevitably come up with some ancient forum thread that leads you to put some crazy ass command line command in without explaining literally any of it. The assumption is that if you're using Linux you should already be a master at the operating system.

I will say that install of the next went really really well for me I installed pop os which seems like it's the most user friendly option. But after a while you just want something to work. It is not too much to ask for there to be a gui implementation of something. And for there to be somewhere to go to ask a question without being fucking badgered by people who think just asking the question makes you a fucking dumbass.
