When your old PC goes over the Windows 10 update cliff, can Windows 11 save it?

          If you’re talking about crowdstrike… They didn’t all blue screen. That was caused by third party software that caused the same sort of issue (kernel crash/panic) on Linux boxes not even 3 months earlier.

              no, they dont.

              most people do not get to go into work and say ‘im not using windows, sir’ because the business has long since bent over for microsofts services

              your comment reminds me of people complaing about people living in war torn countries ‘well they can just move!’

              nonsense

      You can use VMs even more ambitiously. If your wi-fi is not supported by FreeBSD - there’s a wifibox port, basically it runs a minimal Linux with PCI passthrough.

      And of course if I need Windows, it won’t be bare metal.
