And my laziness pays off for another year.
Lazyness? You're not avoiding 11 because you're lazy, you're avoiding it because you know what's best for you
I'm avoiding it because I'm lazy. I have multiple laptops with 11 and they're fine, because I'm not a premadonna like the average Lemmy user.
My PC has windows 10 on it, and some less than legitimate shit, and also some very legitimate shit, and I just don't want to go through the rigamarole, it's a pretty janky setup as it is. A ship of thesius, if you will, going back to like 2012.
When I eventually build a completely new PC it'll be Windows Whatever, because I really don't give a fuck, it works fine. You could get a post about someone buying replacement windows for their house and you'll get ten lemmings coming and circle jerking about Linux.
Yep stepping in dog shit isn't good for anyone. Windows 11 is synonymous with dog shit.
No one likes stepping in dog shit, but it is a natural thing. Windows 11 is NOT natural. And is not a thing you should do-- ever!
Poor guy will still be using Windows in two years
Do you log into Windows 10 with a local account or an MS account? If it's local, you're not getting the updates. If it's MS, you might be better off not getting the updates.
