Qualcomm CEO says that the next version of Windows is due in mid 2024 - place your bets on Windows 11 24H2 or Windows 12::Qualcomm’s CEO alludes to the “next version of Windows” with a launch date in the middle of the year.
no thanks. you can pry windows 10 off of my ssd from it’s cold dead corpse.
*tale as old as time… *
“XP is ruining windows with their damn duplo looking themes and primary colors. Pry 98 SE from my cold dead hands”
*true as it can be… *
“Windows 7 was the last time Microsoft cared, and 8.1 and 10 are regressions in every way. You’ll pry it from my cold dead hands”
“Windows X9 Delta was the final version when MicroAmazon cared about holographic interfaces. I’ll never use Windows X10 Gamma.”
Windows 11 is weird to me, I feel like I’ve only heard negative things about it but actually using it on a daily basis has been fine with a few tweaks. Using nilesoft shell and ear trumpet was basically all I needed to be satisfied.
That’s not really unique to 11 though, I’ve had to tweak things on basically every windows version. Whether that was classic shell with 8, or clover for tabs in file explorer for 7.
At the very least Windows 11 seems to have a more consistent design language across the OS. It feels a lot less half baked than the style changes they did on 8 and 10.
I’m not a back-end wizard so I don’t know shit, but windows 11 is fine as far as my daily driver goes.
In a same but more drastic vein, you’d have to chop me up and shit In my corpse before I switch back to windows on my home PCs, it’s bad enough I have to use win10 at work imo (I ain’t installing win11 there untill I’m forced to)
yeah, i use windows only for some games which don’t work so well on linux and currently the newest nvidia drivers are again kind of shit, but as soon as nvk is stable enough to daily drive, i’ll nuke the windows installation and never look back.
I’m not a power user or anything, and don’t understand most of the things in computing. I’m a basic user with mostly basic needs. But the only thing that ever gets me back on windows is when my college requires a program specific to a class. Linux is just freaking better, even at the very basic, mostly doing browser based shit level.
Probably Win11-24 update. If MS goes Surprise Win12, well, it’ll be time to upgrade… again
So much for Windows 10 being the last Windows.
This was news orgs taking one single employees words and making them gospel. It was never anything Microsoft actually said.
Win11 is just win10 with (basically) enforced hardware security TPM. So, you know, websites and shit know your hardware is legit, to check if you’re allowed to play that sweet 4k video you already pay that subscription for.
I guess they really were full of shit.
Microsoft has been discussing the idea of Windows as a service, but the company hasn’t really explained exactly how that will play out with future versions of Windows. That might be because there won’t really be any future major versions of Windows in the foreseeable future. Microsoft has altered the way it engineers and delivers Windows, and the initial result is Windows 10. Instead of big releases, there will be regular improvements and updates. Part of this is achieved by splitting up operating system components like the Start Menu and built-in apps to be separate parts that can be updated independently to the entire Windows core operating system. It’s a big undertaking, but it’s something Microsoft has been actively working on for Windows 10 to ensure it spans across multiple device types.

How about we call it windows 12 XPeevista20003?
It has lots of throwback to the old stupid names.
Maybe just something more truthful like “test 012” or “untitled 012”
Do you have a problem with the Windows 11 24H2 name?
24H2 means “second half of 2024.” Microsoft has been using this versioning scheme for a long time.
