Microsoft thinks you should recycle pcs that can't be upgraded to windows 11...

Please do not do this. Try linux or give them to someone else who will, or donate them to charitable organizations.

Goblins need spare computers everywhere!

#question
Can we have a #hashtag on here for people who wish to discard perfectly good computers, so other people on here who are less fortunate can get them and use linux or something?

Any opinions on a best hashtag for that?

*edit @generationX mentioned a hashtag, #computertruhe (which is a group or the german equivalent to this paying it forward of computers or related parts, and is active on mastodon!) This may translate to #computerchest and is the best lead on a relevant hashtag for this purpose so far!

Picked up a Thinkpad T14s Gen 5 (Intel) today. Intel Core Ultra 5 135U, 32GB RAM, 512GB SSD. It even has an NPU.

I went through the Windows 11 setup to see if there were firmware upgrades that could only be installed from Windows. Then I installed Fedora Silverblue on it to skip having to deal with Windows on a daily basis.

Everything seems to work, even the fingerprint reader. Now to figure out if the NPU is accessible from Linux and what to do with it.

Maybe I’m just paranoid, but what could possibly go wrong with this idea? Grimace.

“Based on the analysis of this data, Microsoft can remotely apply fixes such as removing problematic drivers or updates and changing configuration settings.”

#Linux vs. #Windows background disk I/O: Is this true?


Regarding the loss of the ability to use a local account instead of a Microsoft Account when setting up Windows…

“Whatever your reasoning, you'll need to find a different workaround for future Windows versions.”

Yes, the best workaround is to install Linux.

"We’re removing the bypassnro.cmd script from the build to enhance security and user experience of Windows 11."

Oh, okay, but how does it improve security or user experience?

"This change ensures that all users exit setup with internet connectivity and a Microsoft Account."

Ah, so it does not improve security or user experience. It in fact is making the user experience worse, as you no longer can set up Windows offline easily.

The only reason is to force more users to sign up to Microsoft account.

“I don’t need to smoke anymore…” lights a cigarette and takes a deep draw of nicotine.

When you title your article “I don’t need Windows anymore” and the second paragraph starts with “To be clear, I still use Windows.” Your credibility just went to zero.
