Microsoft's last ditch effort to push people into Linux?

[-] mastod0n@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

Enterprise LTSC isn't a version you commonly run on devices where you can just switch your OS at will.

[-] ShredderFeeder@shredderfood.net 6 points 5 days ago

I wouldn't put Windows into my server environment if someone paid me for the privlege. There is exactly one (Windows10) box in my house, belongs to my youngest son, and the minute it goes end of life he's moving to Fedora too.

and the minute it goes end of life he’s moving to Fedora too.

Curious to know .... why the wait?

[-] ShredderFeeder@shredderfood.net 5 points 4 days ago

He's autistic...doesn't like change.. So I'm prepping him for it slowly and gradually. ;-)

[-] Railcar8095@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

The IOT version of W10 will last a few more years. Maybe as a B plan of the transition needs to be pushed.

[-] warmaster@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

They are doubling down on their Linux marketing efforts. Gotta love these guys.

[-] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 4 days ago

I don't get it, why are there people on Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021?

If you were going to do that why not choose Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021?

[-] sanitation@lemmy.today 1 points 4 days ago

I hate window server so much. Especially now when software is cheap it feels entirely out of place

[-] redlemace@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

This reveals what you need to know to get a discount

It's fine: Windows 11 is great. People complaining are those that aren't even using it, using it 'at work' or have min. spec system.

[-] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 9 points 5 days ago

Windows 11 is an ad. Its not even an operating system. It exists to give you 120 pop ups a second asking you to use shit you never would at home. Madthumbs is a windows obsessed pariah, long ago lost in his own sauce.

[+] madthumbs@lemmy.world -15 points 5 days ago

skill issue

[-] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 8 points 5 days ago

Yeah it is a skill issue, other OSes just let you work.

[+] madthumbs@lemmy.world -15 points 5 days ago

But not Linux, that shit is just a duct taped mess on top of a monolithic kernel putting amateur hacked drivers in ring 0 and can't maintain stable ABI/API.

[-] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 6 points 5 days ago

Bad, you can't even think of a good burn. Here I got you, why the fuck does my Steam crash when I launch 2 games while my Steam Controller is connected?

You can't even talk shit cause you plainly don't know. All you know is Active Directory, Windows Registry, hot chip, and lie.

[+] madthumbs@lemmy.world -10 points 5 days ago

or i jdc to argue much with brick walls

[-] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 2 points 5 days ago

Would a brick wall have given you a win like that? I don't think so bud. Try jumping the fence from time to time. You might actually find a real reason to not like Linux instead of just being an insufferable troll.

[-] cardfire@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

You spent four posts in a row arguing here. I wonder if things would have turned out differently if you learned punctuation and grammar. Are you so rude to say "skill issue" to absolute strangers in real life, or is it just reserved for people in your communities?

Two of my machines run MacOS, Two run Windows 10 LTSC IoT, and the rest are migrating to CachyOS. I'm fairly confident that those of us who have run literally every major release of Windows since Win3.x for Workgroups aren't just incompetent at desktop stuff.

If you enjoy all of the telemetry and upselling then by all means enjoy Windows 11. Don't pretend you have some secret insight over your brethren here, though, who put in the work to get free.

[-] redlemace@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

aahhhhh now I recognize the username … madthumbs is the “Linuxsucks” creator/moderator

[-] redlemace@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

If it works for you, if you're happy, by all means go ahead.

But ever since I've moved my wife's computer from windows to "elementary OS" she's into problem free computing.

[-] madthumbs@lemmy.world -5 points 4 days ago

cool anecdote bro

[-] redlemace@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

aahhhhh now I recognize the username ..... the "Linuxsucks" creator/moderator

[-] madthumbs@lemmy.world -5 points 4 days ago

yeah, the one that can actually make points and not have to resort to anecdotes, personal attacks, brigading, and debunked propaganda.

[-] redlemace@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Just calling someone's first hand experience an anecdote is not what I call "making a point"

but dude, chill! I get it .... You hate Linux. But even you have to be grateful it's there, because -like it or not-, It's what drives over 70% of the network devices allowing you to connect to a Linux server to post your grievances.

[-] madthumbs@lemmy.world -5 points 4 days ago

No, if it didn't exist, we'd have better competition for Windows. It's too self-limiting with its unstable ABI/API, and commie GPL. BSD is freer and has better load handling, efficiency, networking stack, security, cohesiveness, documentation, etc. And then there's all the OSes that were promising that Linux squashed by idiots saying 'we can do that in Linux' when Linux is flawed at its foundation. -Haiku for example is made for less robust hardware and is much better than Linux for it, but LiGNUts only see Linux.

Linux is destroying the industry. If you hate Microsoft: hate Linux because Linux is the best possible competition scenario it could have. Google is far worse than Microsoft though, and they were enabled by Linux.

[-] olafurp@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Lol, the reason why Linux is still free is because of the GPL. If BSD had better load handling efficiency, network stack and whatnot it would be used on servers more than Linux.

The kernel is a great platform that you can launch an commercial OS from like Android, SteamOS or ChromeOS.

Systemd handles a lot of mundane OS tasks, there's a base implementation for wayland so you can get pretty far. You can also just slap KDE on it and focus on whatever is important to the user base instead.

[-] madthumbs@lemmy.world -1 points 4 days ago

Linux is used primarily due to the propaganda and available admins. Large networks like Netflix depend on BSD. You're the first in years that has contested what BSD is generally regarded as better for. You're literally disagreeing with what even your fellow Linux advocates would agree on about BSD. -Not that there isn't misinformation about Linux so there could be about BSD, but you're also not showing any evidence either.

[-] redlemace@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

if it didn’t exist, we’d have better competition for Windows.

Get real. It's not like linux is in some way blocking competition. It's free for anyone to compete and try and win (a piece of) the market.

Linux is destroying the industry.

Yes, that's why my data center is filled with them /s

I'm not saying Linux is the only way to go, but if it did not do what it should do, companies would jump to something else that does.

[-] madthumbs@lemmy.world -3 points 4 days ago

You go happily run a grocery store with a 'free food' stand/bank across the street that survives due to government grants, legal interference and exploitation of unpaid / low paid workers.

Richard Stallman started GPL to exact revenge on his peers in an attempt to destroy their careers.

[-] redlemace@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

commie GPL

Linux is destroying the industry.

Gradually it became clear but here we have it : It's all about not being able to make (enough) money from linux

[-] madthumbs@lemmy.world -3 points 4 days ago

You mean destroying careers of peers because of Stallman vendetta.

[-] redlemace@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

You mean destroying careers of peers because of Stallman vendetta.

So you keep saying, but it's an unverifiable claim. Not all is about money or vendetta's
