You forgot to mention that not every machine can be upgraded to windows 11. So it's not just a matter of leaving windows 10, if support is important to the user, but they also have to dispose of the machine.
Windows 10 LTSC is truly the best version of windows that is still usable
@@SzTz100 i already had that problem with windows 10 22h2 update where my pc did not meet the specs so instead of buying new pc i went with linux route because it was way cheaper option. As for those who use windows 7 still its probably some non important pc's at office that use old versions of ms office.
It's doing such a disservice to Andres keep callling im a "random guy". He might have stumbled over it but he still did the massive amount of work to actually figure out where it came from. Couldn't even dream of doing something like that myself
Fun fact he is a principal software engineer at Microsoft :D
Well, the point is that anyone can detect those problems, if it wasn't him someone would eventually discover it, in general, when anyone call him "a random guy" that discovered this is to showcase the power of open source, it took them years to be able to pull this stunt, a lot of social engineering to try and pass an intentional exploit, and it took nearly no time for it to get discovered and patch.
On the other hand windows is patched daily for exploits like this one.
I think in this case "random guy" refers to the fact that he is not the person charged with monitoring that particular service, meaning that he would not have been responsible for allowing the back door if it had succeeded.
When Win 10 was launched, Microsoft literally said this was the last OS you'll ever need. I call that false advertising. I want my eternal OS, where is it?
Some Indian dude in their marketing department repeated this 6 months before win11 was released. Can't trust street shitters
well they lied and your gullible to believe them because they are Microsoft they lie like all corps lie unless all you guys start paying to keep it going
Microsoft did say windows 10 was going to be the last version (they tell lies). Windows 10 works ok. Windows 11, most people would not even notice the difference (apart from having a lighter bank balance). The old hardware what a waste of time, effort of world resources, just to scrap it? Cannot see the point in having Windows 11. I am sticking with Windows 10, Until I find an alternative. Windows 11 doesn't currently meet the minimum system requirements to run on my PC
@@i7i9191 I'm also sticking with 10, I've tried 11 on my girlfriend's computer and I know it sucks.
i’m ready to leave windows all together
I already left, it was the right move.
U know Apple is worst right?
@@licenciadoleopoldocanoloza1144 i’ve been getting pretty tired of windows and all the bloat they pack into it and the way none of it works well and the way they have duplicate controls half of which work and i could just go on and on. windows is driving away their customers and that’s why their market share has been steadily declining
@@licenciadoleopoldocanoloza1144 Apple isn't the only alternative
I agree. I'm in the process of refurbishing my laptop that was top of the line 10 years ago, but the hardware doesn't support Win11. As soon as support goes, I'll be moving it to Linux Mint or Ubuntu.
The Google AI search is the single biggest setback in their search engine since they started filling the whole first page with ads.
I agree - I use Google's Gemini AI more than Google lately and if they going to charge for this, I will switch to MS copilot AI.
Not really it usually gives the answer completely with sources.
- whom only working in English language
- if you everything block in that language whole AI death machine
//no recommendation at all
- so
- some AI or again some nonsense hype
I've had some useful information given to me on the go with that feature, it's not as bad as people say it is.
i hate new ai generated google search results it's annoying i switched to startpage it's much better now
google doesn't give me the results i am looking for anymore at all
As an engineer, the xz attack was a work of art. It's impossible to describe how complicated and beautiful it is without getting into all the details, so I recommend everyone to read the full story with all the techy details if you can understand them. We got so extremely lucky someone noticed it.
Stuckscoughnetcough anyone?
I don't think we got particularly lucky: Linux's most package nature makes that everybody can constantly watch over any code at any time. The fact it was discovered fast (and accidentally) may have been lucky, but considering Debian and RHEL based distros always lag several months to years behind (voluntarily, for stability), we still would've had a lot of time before this backdoor would be deployed on most servers and computers.
And as the Linux community are for the most part tinkerers, especially the rolling release/bleeding edge enjoyers, as they all get the latest package, they could immediately tinker with the program and at least 1 other person would have found something suspicious, just like this Microsoft engineer and would've reported it.
So I don't think we got lucky in finding the backdoor as much as we got "lucky" to find it as soon as that.
@@rigierish3807Debian/RHEL - sure, but the upcoming Ubuntu LTS (24.04) would be almost guaranteed to contain the backdoored version
@@rigierish3807 Ricing, configuring your desktop and monitoring CPU cycles are very different things. Arch users might be tinkerers, it doesn't mean they know what impact each operation must have on their CPU and in what circumstances. And looking at the source code of cryptic compression algorithms, (especially the human unreadable binary blobs inside the test cases) isn't something even Gentoo users do for fun. Besides, the backdoor specifically only deployed itself on a server environment, so it would have zero impact on regular Linux systems. That's why I think backdoor is so brilliant.
@@temari2860 Right, "tinkerers" has a specific meaning and wasn't the correct word to describe the kind of Linux users I was talking about, my bad. What I meant was "advanced" or "knowledgeable users".
And when I say it would've been found by somebody else eventually, I don't mean _anybody_ in the Linux community. But the fact that this specific community is filled with pretty knowledgeable people and who can read code, with on top of that the fact a lot of code most Linux system rely on is open source, I genuinely think it was only a matter of time before someone else would've found this backdoor.
I mean, let's not ignore the reason the person found the backdoor and reported it was because he found the execution part to take oddly too long, 0.5 seconds too much, to be precise. I've seen a lot of example of people obsessed with any program taking even a tenth of a second too long to execute (assuming they were supposed to be fast to execute, like under a second).
So I could very well see another Linux user or programmer who knows what he's talking about doing the same things and ending up finding and reporting it, which would eventually lead to the backdoor being discovered.
Now I don't want to diminish the ingenuity (from what I know) of the backdoor, but to consider it was purely based on luck and not even partially based of the fact Linux has a special community and has a lot of open source code isn't giving Linux much credit for what it is and can do.
Either way, at the end of the day, it's just speculations and we are still grateful it was discovered.
That "An Indian" joke was too good. Lol
well it's so true because what else does windows 11 ai do when you seriously start looking at it because it does not really do much at all
I'm still calling it: Win10 will be the next WinXP... so, don't be surprised if MS hit the brakes on their EOL plans to extend it a little longer.
That beign said. I only could update one of my machines to Win11. For the rest of them, i moved to Fedora and I'm not looking back.
Yea, this time you gotta pay tho.
@@ak49 Me? I moved to Fedora, didn't you read?
@@JuanCarlosAraujoS Te estás confundiendo.
@@JuanCarlosAraujoS "You gotta" is a colloquialism for "one must".
@@JB52520Which he apparently doesn't need to…🤷🏽♂️
In most businesses, including where I work from, most IT will not leave a specific Windows version until the very last minute. They don't want to deal with the growing pains of new tech, so it makes sense that they will stick to the old version for as long as possible.
It also took a while before we were upgraded to the 22H2 and waitred for the EOL announcement of the 1903, which was my previous build
Also enterprise versions of Windows tend to get longer support. For example POSReady 2009 which was based on Windows XP got support till 2019 5 more years than Windows XP. In fact there is a registry hack you can do with Windows XP that will allow you to get all the POSReady 2009 patches
Switching to Linux Mint...
When turning to the Linux world, be sure to avoid anything to do with
Canonical and Ubuntu, as M$ has its fingers too deep in those
organizations to be healthy. And Linux Mint is an Ubuntu-based distribution
Linux mint is fine in my experience. The other guy might be worried about Canonical or Microsoft, but Linux Mint removes some of the things people find controversial about Ubuntu, like snaps. Mint comes with proprietary video drivers installed which some people dislike, but it lets you switch to the open source Nouveau drivers for nvidia cards by pressing a button if this bothers you. And it's not even a concern if you're using integrated graphics or an amd card. Something like gentoo or arch might be better if you want a distro that's more of a blank slate for full customization and you're comfortable with command line, and know the terminology and the differences between pipewire/alsa/pulseaudio/jack or xorg/wayland. Mint has sensible enough defaults if you're not going for a customized twm setup or trying to compile all your packages from source for a 3% performance boost.
Mint is fine
Mint is good
@@Justfun-nk3vj Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE) - no Ubuntu.
I think Tpm requirement to upgrade to windows 11 is holding back a lot of people.
Yup, can't update my laptop because of it. I spend way more time on Linux than on Windows, but I would still love to be able to update Windows for the rare times I actually need it.
@@azmah1999 You can bypass that in windows several ways. I do it for my virtual machines in Linux whenever I need windows. Which is only to update the firmware on my Xbox controller.
You can force windows 11 even if your system doesn't meet all the requirements. There are a lot of tutorials online.
You can skip tpm to install win 11
Yeah, and even more weird thing is that a Celeron N4020 can support Win11, when the slightly older Ryzen 7 1700 can't, despite it has more than 10x higher performance than those Celerons

Holy crap it literally feels like those "upgrade to Windows 10" pop up messages were like yesterday. Damn 😢
At work IT dep has already "upgraded" my machine to Win11 and it really, really makes me want to try Linux Mint at home instead of switching from Win10 (which I already configured so it works for me and doesn't spam me with notifications and ads) to Win11. I don't want to use Windows anymore, it is just annoying in many small details which add up.
Me2
Try Nobara instead. More "linuxy" than mint and just as easy to transition to from windows.
Thanks, will look into it!
@@Seriouspatt Don't let yourself get sidetracked, everybody argues for their particular flavour of Linux. Mint or any other of the big distributions will do you just fine. Don't overthink it, if you like Linux you will probably switch distro a couple of times anyways.
Make the switch. If you aren't comfortable making an instant jump, duel boot it. soon you will find yourself using windows as less as possible.

Speaking as someone with allergies, please no perfume!!! It's horrible enough when I am out eating an someone has a perfume I'm allergic to nearby, if any company tries to bring it into my house that's an instant boycott from me
It's probably something like a subtle "new car" smell. As they say, a good perfume should create an atmosphere, not displace the atmosphere.
@@JB52520Nah, the stuff can legitimately just be toxic if you read what the ingredient "fragrance" is actually made of.
@@JB52520 I do not think the OP talks about smell...they talk about allergies and those do not care about how nice the perfume is
They went from „Windows 10 ist the last Windows“ to aggressively pushing Win 11 pretty quickly.
and now are making windows 12 so much for windows 10 being the last windows version🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
In case anyone is wondering why an MS employee finds a Linux bug: the biggest business model for MS is not desktop systems but cloud services and they run on Linux servers, like most other servers in the world too. I use Windows just for gaming, all the important, privat stuff migrated to LMDE last year and i save it locally. No unnecessary data leaving my machine and flying to Redmont.
Steam deck promotes Linux gaming
I have had 0 issues in Mint running games using Wine and enabling Proton in Steam.
Apparently Windows hasn't been required for gaming for years, all this stuff has effective compatability layers in Linux.
Honestly my only issue was switching as I had to do so in compatability mode, install, boot with nomodeset, and install my drivers because nvidia is a buncha jerks
I already stopped using google at home because of their captcha spam when using a VPN. The other search providers don’t do this.
As much as we can all commend the Postgres maintainer, I think that there are certain systems that feel like they should have full-time engineers dedicated to making sure the infrastructure, systems or whatever that is be regularly worked on. This is not the first case of "thing that gets maintained by an unorganised team of volunteers has a critical issue" - maybe one of the ones we have a lucky save, but not one that we can say "it was all fine all along".
I think the adoption from 7 to 10 was high not because of the aggressive push from Microsoft, but rather due to the fact that 10 was, in most ways, an upgrade over 7.
11 is a MAJOR downgrade in many regards, though, which I think speaks to the hesitancy.
I had Windows 11 tell me to lower my screen brightness to lower my carbon footprint. I installed Windows 10. Now on to Linux because the future of Windows will be much worse than Windows 11.
When windows 10 eventually dies, I think that'll be the final straw in getting me to jump ship to linux, and move away from the Microsoft ecosystem more or less forever.
careful watch your backdoor is protected🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I remember a time when I considered my PC hardware too old when it couldnt run the latest operating system fast enough anymore. Or when the hardware was around 10+ years old.
But with excluding my perfectly fine and less than 10 years old hardware from Windows 11, Microsoft did me a very hard disservice.
I wont buy a bunch of new PC hardware just so I can have Windows 12, which is probably as buggy as 11...
Microsoft needs to expand support for windows 11 to support older cpus if they want more people to make the switch.
And older motherboards.
I mean I run a 5600x in my B350 mainboard. Runs great and fast.
But its the mainboard that MS chose not to support....
Yes fair point, my old gaming laptop still out performs many newer machines yet the CPU feature means it's stuck on 10

There are several alternative interpretations. Because the AI previously gave so many wrong answers, you could sometimes come across the interpretation 'Ape Inside'
The problem with upgrade to windows 11 is that it’s hardware security requirements (tpm) mean that many if not most older pcs can’t comply.
I'm an ML Engineer and I have to use Windows 10 because my current development environments don't work with Windows 11. So upgrading to Windows 11 is not an option for me.
Unless Microsoft does release a _stable_ Windows in its upcoming release before October 2025, it's gonna be really hard for a lot of people to shift to 11. I still use Win 10 as my main OS, and don't plan to 'upgrade' to 11 yet.
i am on 8.1 since i only had problems with 10 and 11 I'll upgrade windows when i switch computers since mine is ancient a 2010 hp with a 1st gen i3
What do you mean by "stable"? I haven't had any issues with Windows 11. I think most of the W10 users are businesses who will probably upgrade before the EoL of W10.

Man, Google is already worse than Bing since Copilot uses GPT-4 for free, but they also want to put a paywall behind their Sagittarius or whatever their barely copied homework is? I smell some fired executives in the near future
Kagi is a search engine that is subscription based. their results are better than Google because they weed out sites with many ads and trackers. Google doesn't want to do this, because they're so reliant on ad revenue. Therefore, I think a subscription funded version of Google will be much less attractive than an actually independent search engine. either that, or they will face an awkward situation where the paid version has much better search results than the free one.
@@vemundkremund3221 Paid subscription for good searches while obliterating the free version even more than it currently is might be the way to go for Google I guess. After all, they are paying Apple and Firefox to keep them as the default search engine, so it's going to be somewhat profitable amongst the people that don't know/care to switch.

Moved already. My girlfriend complained about 3 security updates that dragged our Laptop to a standstill, so I put Linux Mint on the Laptop.
I wonder how many enterprise and education customers will still not upgrade to Windows 11 after the Windows 10 EOL next year. I hope some organisations have learnt from the cyber attacks that have happened in the past due to outdated software but I won't hold my breath.
Too much change in Windows UI, users will NOT want to change towards Win11 🤷
Businesses I'm familiar with waited for testing initially, but then saw W12 rumours and halted progress because it would be cheaper to just skip a Windows version. W12 isn't happening apparently so now they're looking at testing for a W11 upgrade again.
Also there is always a lot of worries around upgrades so they'll probably have training courses for users. I don't think it's nessasseray really because there are a lot of UI things that change all the time and users can mostly figure it out, but I still think the C suites of a lot of companies will be so worried with number change so they'll end up spending millions on courses that could have been an email.

Have the issue been solved with the specialist security that was needed to run Windows 11?
I wonder how many computers won't be able to run Windows 11 because they lack the TPM security chip
With maybe a few exceptions any processor from the end of 2017 and up will support it. With older ones it depends. TPM started in 2009 and v2 in 2014 and all major manufacturor support it.
For 6-7 years all pc's support it (although I'm sure threr sre exceptions from some random obscure manufacturers).

Big shocker Details Matter which games do you play the vast majority of the time. What are your system hardware specs. Details Matter
@@motoryzen I have many software engineer friends who have told me Linux won't run games pretty well as they run on Windows. Most of my library aren't drm or anti cheat games, but there are few of them like that, probably 2-3
I built my desktop 3 years ago and I can’t install windows 11 because for some unknown reason it tells me that secure boot isn’t enabled. So I’m stuck on windows 10. Now I hear that windows 10 is going away, thanks Microsucks, you’re killing my PC by keeping me on windblows 10. I’m going to switch to Linux. Less hassle.
Home robots are gonna be so expensive..I think I'll stick to using my meat body to do things.
I'm still rocking my 2013 laptop and it just won't die so that I can get a new one. I've changed the battery two times, the keyboard, the WiFi chip, the HDD and I've put a SSD in. Acer made some cool stuff back in 2013 but it's not going to support Windows 11.
No,
And No update is actually quite a blessing
I have a pretty beefy gaming PC from like 2018. I haven't found anything that won't run perfectly on the highest settings (1080p 60fps monitors though). It won't run Windows 11
Your PC may actually support TPM 2.0 but simply have it turned off in BIOS.
Though personally I’d just stick to Windows 10 as long as it works as I find it better.
@@username-mb2qh oh thanks! I'll check. I'm okay just upgrading the processor, but I think about all the parents and siblings with aging laptops. My mom would cry if she ever saw a BIOS memu. Apple still supports stuff from the Obama years 🙃
So why haven't you tried to see it with a separate SSD if Linux Mint cinnamon or another solid Linux operating system will work just fine out of the box with your Hardware Linux doesn't give a crap about TPM and does not require it and also doesn't need a stupid product key license and also doesn't believe in disrespecting your Fourth Amendment rights to privacy either and it respects the fact that your computer is supposed to be 100% your computer and thus 100% under your control including the updates situations in any and all ways by the way
@@motoryzen because I have no idea what you're talking about. My example was more about how casual consumers aren't ready for Windows 11
Scented boxes sounds like a good idea to me
The Amazon fresh grocery store experience is great. I've been going there since it opened and I swear I knew the entire time it was a mechanical Turk type of situation rather than AI. they should keep the system as is.
Years ago, I used Linux almost exclusively. When browsers won't be updated anymore for Windows 7, I'll have to go back to Linux to keep browsing securely. I can still use Windows 7 for word processing and spreadsheets though.
Might just be where I'm from but I still don't understand why people (individuals not companies) are so hung up on the fact that there won't be updates for Windows 10 anymore. I switched from Windows 7 to 10 in 2021 and had been using 7 for more than 5 years prior to that and never had an issue with it whatsoever
Imagine being so terminally online and unpopular that you use mastodon
People don't really upgrade OS unless they buy a new computer and there is less and less reasons todo that unless your a gamer. That old PC you got at home is doing what people need. Besides they need a new computer for windows 11. So Microsoft should have known the outcome of the hardware requirement.
The XZ exploit only affected rolling releases on Fedora, Debian, and Ununtu. Everyone else was safe.
Time for Linux to shine, I waited for like 3 years now(from 2021)
Linux is too fragmented to shine. They would need to consolidate the million different versions and put all the configuration into the UI for it ever to become a mainstream OS. I've been messing around with Linux since the 90's and it still is not a viable operating system for any real work.
@@MAGAMAN I don't think so, because mostly distro out there supports all software that is available for Linux. Ive never seen a problem to run software regarding fragmentation of Linux. Still availability of industrial standard software is considerable issue.
@@MAGAMAN "not a viable operating system for any real work" that is just skill issue on your part.
I use Arch Linux BTW
Amazon didn't like about AI. They were using Arun in India, or AI, for short.
I hope that they will adjust that stupid security chip requirement. I have laptops that would have a hard time, laptops that are very usable.
After virtualising many Linux distributions, I'll be ready to properly switch to Ubuntu or even Linux Mint.
I'm moving to Linux forget window.
XZ is why you don't run testing branches, and Beta's it only effect Testing branches on Linux Distro and those running Arch which should be reading their code anyway and checking it all. Fedora 40+ is still Beta testing, Debian sid was only the testing branches and as for company servers safety they shouldn't be running unested branches of Linux anyway because of up time stability. Which is why I use Fedora 39 currently not the Beta of 40 I always give a new update 6 month to get through the verified wall of trust and testing. May I add that it was that testing that discovered the bug.
