6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? (lemmy.world)

IIRC W11 share is barely near W10 and they are already forcing it out and crapton of perfectly usable hardware, if it is not planned obsolescence i don't know what it is!? Fuck microsoft!

I want to point out, planned obsolescence only really applies to their surface offerings.

Why? I’ve been running a Surface Go 1 with Fedora since 2020 and I plan on keeping it until 2029 at least.

So I can’t see the planned obsolescence except if you meant the ability to upgrade its internals..

I was pointing out that M$ neither made other hardware that doesn’t support W11, or (directly) profits from hardware being outside support for W11. So planned obsolescence doesn’t really apply in any way to 99% of cases people try to say it does.

Okay I understand now, but I think the formulation could have been better then😇
