Fursphere Posted Monday at 01:32 PM Posted Monday at 01:32 PM Android has succeeded because it has a corporate agenda behind it, and a full hardware integration team. You don't see DIY hardware platform running Android out in masses. They exist, but they're niche. My first experience with Linux way back in the day was Slackware. Tried getting it going, got stuck, asked for help online - and got "f*ck you n00b, go away and figure it out yourself" as a response. (almost verbatim) 25-30 years later and people are like "why is Windows still so popular. #facepalm I realize today's distros are far more welcoming and 'easy' to setup (I still dabble from time to time), but they're still not Windows. I am wondering what's going to happen with the WIndows 11 hardware mess. The minimum processor spec (age) and TPM chip arbitrarily retiring old PC hardware sure is an interesting move. Of the 7 modern desktop PCs I have in my home (5 of them in arcade cabinets), all of them in theory are capable of running WIndows 11, but I've only gotten 4 to upgrade in place. I haven't spent enough time with the others to figured out what the holdup is (i.e. too lazy to do a bare metal reinstall on a working system). I would love to jump to linux on the various Arcade machines, but they've all got specialized 'windows only' hardware / software - so that just ain't going to happen. Quote

I mean a year is nothing more than 12 months right? 1 1 Quote
