Raising this dead article as Microsoft now delivers extended support pricing details for those who choose not to migrate to the newer version of Windows. The one they were told they'd not ever have to migrate to

Windows 10 is the last version of Windows (that I am going to use)

I'll be the guy in this thread, I switched to mint for everything except CS2 (Wtf valve fix your native client) and will not be looking back.

I had to use windows yesterday. Public computer at a print shop.

Everything was shades of white, the scroll bar was barely visible, when I enlarged a window the ux elements scaled up, and there was already tons of dead ui space, so I assumed there weren't any more to show. Also, every program, even though they were all Microsoft, gave a different screen when I hit control p.

I couldn't figure out how to adjust paper size. Ive been using computers since 199(2/3), when I could barely talk. Ive used legacy systems older than me-for industrial shit, for novelty. I grew up mostly a MS-DOS then windows girl. I've installed arch. Ive run arch successfully as a daily driver, then moved to qubes for a few years. I have systems so hacked together, I need to lick a bit of wire I connected poorly to trigger a thing (3v, its fine) I currently have a dead bug soldered project sitting half finished next to me (the hardware is done, works, I'm just bad at code), in a room that could mostly pass for the set of a live action 'serial experiment lain' remake.

And I couldn't adjust print settings on modern windows. Because it's just that garbage. Two days ago I wasnt a fanatical Linux partisan. I think I am now.

I replied to your other post and this was below so don't feel compelled to type it again up there.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Right sorry saw this in the other screen assumed you were responding to this one.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I guess I've confused things a bit.

Well if your solution to craptacular useless ux is 'get gud', which was sort of implied, then you sound like a certain kind of arch user. Just install that on your primary machine; I'm sure it'll be fine.
