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

So there is already a thing with Windows 11 where you can, as part of a Microsoft 365 subscription, upgrade your Windows 11 machine from Pro to Enterprise.
The idea of having the base OS be a subscription is really just a stones throw away.
... but the Pro -> Ent activation process is really a PITA and often randomly PC's will revert back to Pro after they've been ugpraded, so I guess we'll have fun with that.
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.
