So I got hit with Microsoft's Windows 11 nag screen... - eviltoast

… as explained here.

Basically Microsoft presents this “incredible” product, and then says in the same breath: “Oops, not for your current setup. Maybe you should consider buying a new PC?”

Really!? 😠

If only Linux were ready for mainstream use…

    Linux is mainstream ready. A lot of people still just use a web browser. For decades now Linux came with an intuitive GUI driven installer, a whole live Linux OS running on a CD when windows still used a dos like setup. Linux has worked great for decades to use a web browser, which is a lot of what people do on computers.

      Therein lies the problem. The kind of people who only use a web browser have absolutely no need to use Linux as there are far better options

      The kind of people who would like to switch to Linux do far more than just use a web browser, and Linux still doesn’t “just work” after all this time
