And it runs Windows 11. Why?

[–] SanctimoniousApe@lemmings.world 4 points 1 month ago

Because it can't legally run MacOS - duh!

Does it stop you from running something else?

I dont know. Maybe? I guess we'll have to wait and see.

The bigger problem though is that buying this ensures you give money to Microsoft

if it didn't run windows it wouldn't be a gpd win, now would it?

Honk honk 🤡

I didn't think the WIN meant anything else than winning in gaming. Thanks

To be fair, the old DOS-based versions of Windows were started by typing "win" at the command prompt.
