In a post focused on Windows 10’s upcoming end-of-support date (October 14), Microsoft EVP Yusuf Mehdi boasts that Windows is the most widely used operating system in the world today, with over one billion monthly active devices globally.
However, it’s been noted that in its 2022 annual report, Microsoft said 1.4 billion devices were running Windows 10 or Windows 11, up from 1.3 billion devices a year earlier.
I think it’s significantly more likely that the number is still around 1.4 billion
Because of w10 ending, and my unwillingness to keep dealing with their horrid bullshit, I’m switching every machine in my offices to Linux mint. I’m not thrilled to have to learn a new os, but so far everything I need works, and it’s not that big of a jump outside of the file system structure being a bit less straight forward.
Switched to Mac over a decade ago - never will I go back.
This seems like a lateral move to me?
Not really. Apple sucks really bad but their desktop os is still light-years ahead of windows.
I’ve only got one Windows 10 PC still running and I basically never use it anymore. It’s really just my safety blanket in case I happen to someday run into a game where I really, absolutely, cannot possibly play it on Linux. I haven’t found one yet. RIP Windows. You won’t be missed.
Linux baby!
There’s something so pleasing about buying a Windows 11 laptop, and immediately replacing Windows with LMDE.
No need for dual boot, just wholesale replacement.
The only downside is not having my OS spying on me and forcing me to use AI.
