[A]n INI configuration file in the Windows Canary channel, discovered by German website Deskmodder, includes references to a “Subscription Edition,” “Subscription Type,” and a “subscription status.”

I don’t believe for one bit that windows will move to a pure subscription based model. They are greedy, but not stupid.
What’s more believable is that the base OS will be the same as usual, but if you want fancy AI assistants in your OS, you must subscribe, with the justification being that MS must pay for the servers running the models you’re using.
Remember when Microsoft said that Windows 10 would be the last edition?
In effect, it will be for some people fed up with all this bullshit.
As someone who switched to Linux primarily because of Windows 11’s never ending BS (bugs, resource mismanagement, etc) and the inevitably end of Windows 10, I can confirm that Windows 10 will be my last.
I actually rather like win 10. Win 11 I’m holding off on until they fix the taskbar.
If they go subscription, I go Ubuntu.
autokms is gonna get a lot more popular if microsoft do this
Bahahaha okay. Linux here we come!
I hope so the Linux adoption can grow up
I L O L from Linux.
This has already been debunked.
Kind of. Seems they’re going for a subscription creep model rather than just forcing into users all at once.
So does Linux, I subscribe to the Arch rss feed, which is the operating system I use btw.
Oh thank goodness you told me, I thought you might be an Ubuntu user there for a sec
This will be the first day in years I will try to make gaming work on Linux once again.
Steam and Bottles (for non-Steam games).
Games using Bottles can even have a link inside of Steam to launch them from inside of Steam.
I have been using computers since before there was an internet. I have used DOS and now Windows 10. Is there a good place to learn about Linux with a GUI and which one I should purchase? I’m so tired of M$.
Edit: I am primarily a PC gamer that uses Steam and this is what has kept me from using another OS in the past.
As others have said, Mint or Pop_OS are your best options. It really depends on what you want in terms of layout. Do you want a more apple mac osx look or a Windows look, if you want Mac then pop, if you want Windows then mint. They’re both based on the same OS, Ubuntu, and in Mint’s case there’s a Debian edition. None of these have a price, they’re free, you have nothing to lose trying them out.

Realize this is a hot take, but, honestly I’d suggest Fedora, as it just always seemed more stable than Pop OS. Mint had core security issues some years back when I last look at it, not sure they’ve been resolved?
I use the KDE version of Fedora. I installed Steam and Bottles, and I haven’t had a problem since.
All AMD set up though, I can’t speak towards the Nvidia side of things.
Only version of fedora anyone should be using for games is Nobara. The simple fact is fedora may be rock solid, but it’s definitely not as intuitive for a new user to add things like the copr repo for additional software etc.

The COPR is the only other thing you have to do, at least that’s all I did.
Click a checkbox to allow third party (COPR), install Steam, and install Bottles, all from the store UI. You’re making it sound more difficult than it is.
And the problem with Nobara is it’s created/developed by just one person who’s doing it for his dad (per comments I’ve seen made by the developer) (I don’t know if that’s still the case). I rely on my OS, so I’m not willing to put myself into that situation of depending on just one person doing it as a hobby.
The thing I like about Fedora is it’s (ultimately) backed by IBM, and it has more support for more hardware, fixes, etc.
Is it possible to invest in Linux?
you can learn to code and submit a PR
I said invest, not donate! But this is also a good idea.
Aha-a-haha-hahahaHa!!! Oh lord, that’s so dumb.
