[serious] MS to update Windows every 3 years
[serious] MS to update Windows every 3 years
Does anybody know how/whether this is going to affect hardware obsolescence?

I am not going to worry about it, sounds like a problem for my IT department since they are the ones who insist I use windows for work.
Me, I will be just fine on my Linux gaming PC.

The good thing about Linux is if your distribution makes boneheaded decisions like MS, you can switch to another one.
-
Or fork it and make new distribution based on it minus the annoyimg bits
-
That and the other good thing: no distro will make decisions that are even in the ballpark of insanity of those by big tech corps.
-
Oh, they do those all the time.
And then either quietly backpedal once everybody complains or stick to it until everybody moves and they are dead.

Manjaro dev team enters the room.

I was gonna say ubuntu with forcing snaps. What's wrong with manjaro?
-
Someone made a website to compile them you might find, but here’s what I remember:
-
Putting the extraordinarily unstable test release of a package in their normal release. That package specifically included disclaimers that it was for testing only, not meant for any users, and it was very clearly not meant for general release to unsuspecting end-users.
-
Getting banned off the AUR (twice?) for DDOS-ing it due to their faulty code. As I recall, every machine queried the AUR for updates constantly, or something like that.
-
Breaking AUR dependencies because of holding back releases for a few weeks, which they regularly to improve safety. Basically, don’t use AUR on Manjaro.
