So far I've used it to scan once (for some reason that day skan decided to not work) and to make a windows install USB for my SO. I tried Expedition 33 thinking performance issues were a Linux thing by no, it's just like that. So it's a long term unlikely to be used OS, and for that long support is great. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children) (deleted content) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Railcar8095@lemmy.world 1 point 5 months ago (1 child) Actually, one more use case is my SO. Can't/won't use Linux, and I'm not fighting. But needs an up to date OS on the ancient lappet laptop, so 10 IOT it is. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [+] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 1 point 5 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] Autisti4@sopuli.xyz 1 point 5 months ago* (1 child) But who needs 6 years of transition? I'm hoping someone manages to make surface pro's fully compatible with linux in that time... (or that something that's compatible and serves SPs purpose becomes available) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [+] Dyskolos@lemmy.zip 1 point 5 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent
