Jesus. Another one of these? Every freaking day. (Promise it’s different)

I personally like mint and pop!os for new users, but for this user I want to try something windows like with more sex appeal. I don’t want to have to touch this computer again. Proprietary software is not an issue/consideration. User is techier than most. What has your experience been with kbuntu? Pros/cons? Other suggestions?

    Edit: What where the CPUs on the 2015 computers you upgraded?

    No idea, I touch so many computers in a day I don’t keep track. I just know the release dates of the machines and surprised how many from 2015-2020 were actually OK with installing windows 11.

    I think you underestimate how many computers that are in use today that can’t be updated to Windows 11.

    Nah, do you mean like those windows xp ones that banks use, or windows 7 ones that governments use, etc? Those are obviously in a category of their own.

    So, what is this if not Microsoft now forcing people to buy new hardware, if they have unsupported hardware?

    There’s an obvious answer to this, even if many may not like it, but switch. Switch to a Mac or install Linux on your machine. It’s generally a bad idea to stay in a relationship with someone who treats you poorly, so…
