      Switch to Linux Mint, KDE, or Pop OS Cosmic

      Then once comfortable get your company to switch to it

        I’m guessing if they’re too broke to switch their tech stack to Windows 11, a mostly similar OS to 10, the costs to switch to an entirely new paradigm is completely out of the question.

      We’ve been switching over to Windows 11 and it’s broken so many of our old applications.

      We have stuff that’s like 40 years old and it just won’t tolerate Windows 11 so all those programs have to be run in a virtual environment. They were fine with Windows 10 so I’ve no idea what about Windows 11 they don’t like. I wouldn’t mind so much if there was an obvious advantage to Windows 11 but therr literally isn’t, there’s not a single feature in Windows 11 that would help us do business better.

      But I think Windows 11 is on track to be the crap version, so Windows 12 will hopefully be better although given the current direction Microsoft moving that might not be the case, and they may have finally broken the crap then good cycle.

          This is true. Rumours I’ve heard is that all your data will just be in one big blob, and every application is just an AI agent sorting and displaying the info for you.

          So you could open a word document in Excel and it would format the info as a table, or you can open a PowerPoint in Visio and it would make it into a workflow chart. Same data, just presented differently by AI “wrappers”.

        Remember when Microsoft said windows 10 was going to be the last major windows version and they were just going to support it forever with rolling updates, and then later said they never said that.
