Windows 12 could be another costly upgrade for supporters of Microsoft operating systems. A new report reveals that the AI-dominated OS will require AMD and Intel CPUs with a dedicated NPU. Possibly surfacing in late 2026, the follow-up to Windows 11 may also rely on subscriptions.
Install Linux, Problem Solved.
This is the Year of the Linux Desktop.
Can i flawlessly run Photoshop, mine raft java, FFXIV, steam and all games, Media player classic. Music bee without having to deal with work around and terminal garbage as easy as I can windows? No, I thought so, I’ll come back once I can use the things I use daily without an issue and without having to install 6 different things to make stuff work
Ubuntu is neat the few times I used it though.
Windows is only “easy” because you’re used to it. Coming to it fresh, windows 11 is such a shit show sometimes.
Minecraft works on Linux,
FFXIV works on Linux (it works on the steam deck which runs Linux, so it will work natively just like in windows),
Steam itself works on Linux just the same.
win11 is a shitshow coming from win10
Freedom isn’t for everyone I guess.
I was warned the Linux community would be harsh even if it’s just sarcasm.
We’re a welcoming bunch for those who want to be welcomed lol
I do and don’t. I want the stuff I use to work and I want a seamless transition as is going from android to iPhone or windows to mac. But this is all dependent of what distro I use and what my uses are. Which is what makes Linux so unique and great versus windows having bloatware hell and 3 versions which are all basically identical plus AI slop.
Well you can’t have both 1 and 0. And it seems like you are choosing 0.
You have your demands but part of moving to Linux is accepting things will be different. Mostly in a better way, but you’ll also not have everything from your Windows experience. Sitting around waiting for Photoshop to come to Linux, you’ll be sitting until retirement and beyond.
You could always dual boot? Or run Windows in a VM for when you need Photoshop.
OK, then stay a corpo slave if you chose so
Would you also claim the diesel cars are worthless because you can’t use regular gas in them? No, I thought so
Photoshop is trash.
Minecraft works just fine (it’s Java for crying out loud)
Steam works natively. Valve’s most popular hardware device runs Linux.
You want to use a garbage Windows built-in application on Linux?
Two things here;
You can get around on Linux without a terminal
The terminal is king in functionality
Windows requires a command line for many things also, this isn’t a Linux only thing
If you come to Linux expecting it to work like Windows and run all Windows applications, then you’re setting yourself up for failure with bad-faith expectations.
Media player classic is not window Media player. Windows Media player is trash.
Photoshop might be trash (all of Adobe is, greedy little leeches), but it’s what I’ve been using it for like 22 years now and I’ve tried to use gimp but it’s just not the same, same with krita.
I know steam and MC work, I was just listing stuff I use, I think music bee might even have a Linux version, and he’ll Linux might even have something better than Music bee. It usually does for media players.
I never insulted Linux, I have no idea why people act like I do. Maybe me choosing I ubuntu might be insulting, but Linux having 6k options for me to pick is my own choice.
You literally insulted Linux tho…?
the thing is that if you are fresh gnu/linux guy there’s usually a store app where you can install software with no problems at all and as you get more familiar with gnu/linux you can start digging that terminal stuff
and those apps you said really sucks…
you wouldn’t believe this

also, ubuntu is anything but neat
