Fck them. Fck all subscription models. I ended every subscriptions which I was forced into apart from proton ecosystem which is worth 10$ monthly to me. Either I own it or go fck yourself.
There ins no fcking way I'd pay monthly subscription for social networks.. 🤣
Too sad that there is not the Office suite for Linux because it's really powerful
(I do use Open and LibreOffice at work. Personally they are mostly worse in comparison.)
Besides that I don't have a high dependance except for games. And looking at my SteamDeck it's not a high dependency.
If Steam can solve the anticheat and maybe even releases SteamOS as a desktop distro it would be very tempting to switch if I can't get anything else than a subscription or a free key.

I want to see MICROSOFT burning along with streaming services, not only for the subscriptions they want to offer, but because they think they can do what ever they want, and that we will say yes and hand them the money! (harsh I know) What they want to achieve with subscription idea? profit monthly ? make more money than before? Yet people can install linux, but in our side as linux users, we have to provide safe interaction in linux environment to new uers.
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.

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.
