They figured if they make Win 10 just as bad as Win 11 people will finally switch over.
Obligatory Linux plug.
I migrated the day before yesterday. A company can only feed you hot logs, straight from the factory, for so many years before you tire of pretending the taste is acceptable.
I dunno, I’d eat Costco hot dogs all day every day.
Preach, brother. I wouldn’t live long, but I’d finally live happy
They really do have outstanding tubesteaks

Your laptop must be an exception. I’ve installed Linux Mint on an old laptop that couldn’t even run Windows 10 properly and it just worked with zero hiccup.

I assume this is either a meme or a very unique situation. “Not working” is too generic, if you can provide more details we could even help

I’m not familiar with the brand, but general ideas that come to mind to troubleshoot are:
- Disable secureboot if enabled. Understanding you’ll lose that security feature of course.
- See if there’s an option to mark your storage as removable in the installer (–removable flag in grub iirc). My (pretty old) motherboard does not seem to respect attempts to add uefi entities but it happily boots off a “removable” uefi install.
Quick q: do you use all the space available or partition your disk?
Can’t tell if you’re riding the cliche or serious

i chose the nuke it strategy, just burned it to the ground from frustration, then eventually made it to bazzite

Skill issue.

What’s the model number?
And specifically windows recovery partitions enjoy nuking grub at every step.

Well, there’s your problem. Windows nukes it in a blind panic.
As an alternative, windows in a vm for your work software, Linux as the only physical install.
Does it allow for a second SSD?

What distros did you try?
Super weird. My laptop had a new enough GPU that Windows didn’t even have proper drivers yet and it worked out of the box on Linux.
When you say Any Linux, are you referring to debian derivatives only? Have you tried rpm based? I had same issue with one laptop. However Bazzite offers images based on hardware type so one of those might work
Obligatory anti cheat means gaming on Linux isn’t straightforward

Microsoft wants everyone to suffer. Even the smarter windows users.

There’s no such thing as enough in this capitalist wasteland.
Gotta chase that perpetual growth.
I was sucker back then as I paid for a home license for $165 cad though I rectified the mistake by donating more to Linux projects all together

Office is what pays the bills. Everything else is icing on top.
Smartest users are already using OpenShell and don’t have anything to fear, at least from this change… for now…
Linux is free btw
Every day that passes, I feel more validated in my decision to no longer use their OS.

Really just does not seem like they are interested in doing it. I feel like they would’ve said something by now

Honestly I would kill for a proper steamOS release. I’d even pay money for it.

A steam deck beta update from the past week or two that they were working on adding support for the ROG Ally. The verge asked valve about it, and they confirmed they’re actively working on making it support other handheld PCs.
Handheld =/= tower I want to build lol
Right, I would just assume bringing it to other handhelds is the first step in it having universal hardware support.
Eh you’d think that but they haven’t done a desktop update since early 3.0. It’s been years
There’s been a lot of positive buzz about Bazzite.

OpenShell is your friend then. I haven’t seen the Windows 8 or 10 menu in years except when using the text launcher to start OpenShell after I closed it.

Thank you kindley Microsoft, It is what I crave! I need it like the Microplastics I got installed in my ballsack.
Linux looks more and more like the better choice. Some more reasons here despite the ad annoyance: https://www.xda-developers.com/reasons-linux-good-gaming/
I think the various debloat scripts (Chris Titus etc.) should take care of this.
Obviously this remedy is just harm reduction.
Going forward I will be maining various Linux distros and using Wine/Proton compatibility, or TinyWin10 on a VM, for any tasks that absolutely require Windows.
May I interest you with Ameliorated?
I checked the website, so it’s like a micro scripted app compilation?? Does the thing is a run/tweak then close, or does it needs to reside as a background service/task?
You start with a fresh Windows install and run the playbook on it. It’s practically a one time script
At least I could install Windows 10 in QEMU. I think I’ll go back to Win7 for VMs then.
Geez, MS, it’s a place to filter a list with a few keystrokes and/or click a link or punch enter. It’s such shit ad real estate you’re just pissing off people about to discover nobara or this for nothing
Ahh loves me some classic shell
And i just switched my last windows 10 machine to linux 🫡🖕
Open shell or start 11 from stardock
Just thinking out loud, if you use another launcher app, do you ever have to use the start menu?
