A new version of windows coming next year isn’t really shocking news.

[–] db2@sopuli.xyz 49 points 1 year ago (2 children)

But Windows 10 was supposed to be the last version, they said so. 🙄

[–] sebinspace@lemmy.world 54 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It was for me.

I use Arch btw.

Love Arch Linux! Been running it for over a decade now.

I don’t use Arch, I only said that because “I use Fedora on my laptop and Pop!_OS on my desktop btw” doesn’t really roll off the tongue

[–] LainOfTheWired@lemy.lol 2 points 1 year ago

Fedora is a great distro! I'm a web developer and I run it on my work laptop. I do run Arch on my personal laptop though because I like to learn and tinker with Linux and Arch is my perfect balance of just works and DIY, though I have been eyeing void a bit recently

I use NixOS FWIW

[–] fry@fry.gs 1 points 1 year ago

No worries, always get excited when I see someone mention Arch. Been running it so long, it’s always fun to run into others using it outside the Arch community

Microsoft’s marketing department be like “no fucking way you’re getting rid of major version numbers. I don’t care if you’re just tacking shit onto Windows 10, people spend money when there is a big splashy number or release name.”

[–] CmdrShepard@lemmy.one 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I dont find it shocking but I do find it odd they'd release a new one so soon. Hasn't W11 only been out for a year or so?

[–] darganon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

October 2021, so two years

[–] tym@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

... pretty much proof positive that win 12 will be subscription-based IMO
