Off course, coz they wanna sell user behavior to marketers. This bullshit talks about the improved security are funny. I will never use anything from Microsoft or Google for personal stuff. I have to yet eliminate Apple - in progress.
My 1st desktop had Windows 95 on it. It worked OK. A few years later, I bought a laptop pc with WindowsME (Millennium Edition), and it became the last Windows product I've owned. A work colleague installed Windows 2000 on that laptop, and it worked for a couple months, until I got my "blue screen of death."
At that time, they started selling the ePC notebooks, available with WindowsXP or Linux (the XanderOS) I stepped out of my comfort zone, and got the XanderOS variant, and have had Linux computers since. I'm currently using Mint on an old Panasonic CF-30, and Ubuntu on 2 laptops built by System 76.
My wife likes Mac, but I'm not a fan. My kids get a pretty rounded experience, between using their moms Mac, their dads 2 variants of Linux, and their Chromebooks at school.
That's all well and good, what happens to your kids when they can't tick the Windows and MSOffice boxes on job applications?
I'm not having a go at you, I'll assume you've taught your kids how to approach the new and unknown in the IT fields, but if they have limited or zero experience with Microsoft products, they'll be at a disadvantage.
Meanwhile everyone here saying they switching to Linux (which is perfectly fine) have chik-fil-a and McDonald's accounts probably 🤣😆🤣
I've been boycotting McDonalds since October 2023 mate what are u on
I still have an old copy of the installer with that command intact. Might be good to keep around.
Never understood why that batch script even became popular.. its so much easier to just choose install for an organization, then just never domain join it. Makes a local account, and is much easier
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
