Windows 12 is due to come out this year.
1) Your computer does not meet the system requirements. Again.
Why?
Your PC will need a dedicated NPU — a specialized processor designed to handle AI tasks. So, if you recently bought a new PC just to use Windows 11, Microsoft wants you to go shopping again.
2) It will finally, unfortunately, introduce a subscription model.
That's right — you read that correctly. They want you to pay and keep paying to use the computer you just bought. Technically, you won’t own your computer while Windows is installed.
NOW is the time to try Linux. Stop waiting. Don’t make excuses. Don’t even complain — we all knew this day was coming. Either try Linux, or admit you’re Microsoft’s little bitch.
Source? Yes, this is real.

@NetscapeNavigator The core OS will stay sub-free. And the optional features seem to be all AI.
Only the NPU part is really bothering me, everything else i don't care for.
If you really want to let people switch to Linux, concentrate on its strengths, not on the weaknesses of others. Open-source doesn't need populistic language and half-truths. -

@NetscapeNavigator At the same time as California is leading the charge to cripple consumer computing with ID requirements...
And the AI firms have bought up all the RAM, SSD and flash...
And bought all the HDD from Western Digital...
And Google is closing Android to developers who don't want to buy into their syndicate...This is the end-run to destroy FOSS and consumer computing. You will rent what they offer and comply with their terms or you won't have a computer.

Ah, well, then ... Windows is sure great, then.
*reads*
Wait. "... bringing back the movable taskbar" is on the 2026 roadmap for Win11??!! Right. Seems to be going great at Microslop.@fedithom @NetscapeNavigator I mean, I'd not use it or advise anyone else to.
I'm just not confident in the facts cited in the piece OP linked. Not because I think MS is too good to pull that kind of stuff, though

"I'm so glad, I'm so glad.. I'm glad, I'm glad, I'm glad that I became a Linux user with Ubuntu 6.10 in the year 2006! 😊
I'm STILL using Ubuntu and I have few regrets.
It really IS the best OS of the pack.

@NetscapeNavigator totally agree! New circumstances can be a HUGE opportunity! Switching to Linux is comparable to... having great sex for the first time in your life (pardon my example 😃)

@NetscapeNavigator I urge them to start Windows 11 subscriptions so we can get on with it faster

@NetscapeNavigator A major boost for Linux, with great opportunities for companies offering a supported solution for businesses.

@NetscapeNavigator
Yes! This is the way - but currently, we can't *all* go there. Linux needs a LOT of work on #Accessibility.This needs to become a priority, pronto, because many folks who rely on assistive technologies are unable to use Linux effectively. That SUCKS.
If you are a #Linux #Dev, please consider taking on an #a11y side-project.

The good news is the report is false
Not such a good news. I was fine with MS shooting themselves in the already bleeding foot

Here is the problem with Windows Central — they’ve been known to kiss Microsoft’s ass.
Does anyone remember how they first said Windows 11 would not require TPM 2.0? Or how, when it was finally officially announced that TPM 2.0 was required, Windows Central tried to tell us how great this was for security?
Every other news source, from PC Magazine to PCWorld to ZDNet, is warning you about the future — you should listen.
Or you can be hopeful and wishful and trust Windows Central.

@NetscapeNavigator As an ex-journalist, I take everything with a grain of salt. I just checked ZDNet and PCMag briefly, and they have covered Windows 12 in commentary and prediction formats. If there's some verified source other than PC World, let me know.
Until then, I PRESUME this could be the options, but I don't take them as granted or press releases.
When the time comes, Linux will be the option on my main too. Until then, stripped down W11, no AI, etc.

Just before COVID hit, a series of serious earthquakes hit Puerto Rico. After Hurricane Maria, these felt like salt on the wound.
My father experienced neither of that, he's been dead a long time.
I just had a dream I took my father to the movies. To see a film about those earthquakes. In the dream, after the movie starts, I tell him I will get popcorn. But the cashiers outside are gossiping and I end up not buying anything. I feel bad that I didn't get my father some popcorn...
