Y'all remember when Windows 10 was supposedly their last OS?

[-] Dasnap@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

From what I remember that quote was taken out of context.

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 13 points 1 year ago

I could see that. It felt like a weird thing to say. Oh well. My next OS is going to be Linux if I ever get around to buying a new computer. I've been "doing it soon" for a few years lol.

You don't necessarily need a new computer, you could get a new SSD, install Linux there and dual boot for a while.

Very true, but some context, I have a 3080 or 3070 GPU but a CPU from 2009 and a 5400 RPM hard drive with steam games. I'd get like 20 FPS in Elder Ring on lowest settings. My CPU has become a major bottle neck. Over the years I've upgraded everything else but that because that essentially means an entirely new PC

Poor GPU, the rest of the team can't keep up

I remember reading about that and it is some subscription fee to get replacements. I always wonder if someone is still paying lol

[-] ares35@kbin.social 11 points 1 year ago

the last one you "buy", anyway.

That was so hilariously either ignorant or deceitful when they said that.

I reread that quote (in context) many times, and I've concluded that it was a poor choice of words. He meant "latest". He was talking about Windows 10, the latest Windows OS, in a time where XP, 8, 8.1, Vista, and 7 were still maintained to some degree. I wish so much that Win10 would have been the last Windows OS...
