I dumped Windows 11 for Linux, and you should too https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46574707

One of these years is going to be the year of the Linux desktop!

The difference between Linux users and Jehovah’s Witnesses is that Christianity seems to be on the rise again.

I would think Windows is more comparable to JWs, because they’re always hysterical and saying the end is nigh every 10 years and getting rid of worldly possessions (like their “unsupported hardware” that they won’t need anymore in the “New System”) and then pushing the LTSC end of support prophecy date back .. to what is it now? 2014? 2032?

1914? 1976? Who’s counting? e-waste? Who caaaaaares, it’s the End Times and all things will be made new again, go ahead and use the planet like it’s a disposable Kleenex or the Ganges.

Surprised they’re not standing outside of Whole Foods spreading the news with racks of Wired and PCMag. Or better yet, iPads they can go back in and remove any trace of prior publication so we can’t pull up old articles from 2014 or 2025 on HN and laugh at all the contradictions and stuff that didn’t check out - like we can with period-appropriate prints of the Watchtower or Awake!
