What will you do once windows 10 is deprecated and you have to update to windows 11 or 12? (kbin.social)

Windows 11 keeps trying to install different stuff, notifying you about how great edge is, requires new hardware, and more. Windows 12 is rumored to be cloud only with a subscription?

What will do you?

Get yourself a cheap SSD and a usb3.2 enclosure. Use Ventoy to add ISOs to it, and you can choose the distro at boot and test them at close to installed speeds.

I've got about a dozen different distros that I'm trying out to see what's the best fit for me :)

I'll have to give it a go soon. I'm just a bit disappointed I'll have to develop another hobby to solve a problem that shouldn't exist in the first place.

Yeah, I know that feeling.

On the bright side, apart from the initial learning curve, it's pretty straightforward, and gives you some extra skills :)
