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.
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.
Been reading this sentiment for twenty years now.
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.
But this time it's real! /s
Don't you mean 13 years and 3 months? At least, that's when the UNIX Epoch ends...
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.
Either way, you're net positive.
Why would you scratch a melon? How would you even know if it's itchy???
Can you scratch pumpkins too?
