Laughing in Debian 12

meh debian is great as a server but needs a lot of work out of the box to be used as a desktop. Better off with mint if you want a great out of the box experience

Fair enough. Give me a clean windows without ads, auto installs from the store, telemetry and other data theft, Cortana/copilot/clippy, onedrive, edge, teams, Microsoft account and nag screens and I will gladly pay 1€ per month. Otherwise, Linux it is.

Windows 12? Did they ever explicitly revoke the "Windows 10 will be the last"?

I thought 11 was an exception die to the hardware requirements.

But I guess any big enough change can be a new reason for the next.
