Elsewhere in the same report, Mehdi writes that Windows 11 is 2.3x faster than Windows 10. He failed to mention that Microsoft came to this conclusion by testing the older OS on laptops with Intel Core 6th-, 8th- and 10th-generation processors, while Windows 11 tests were carried out on PCs with Intel Core 12th- and 13th-generation CPUs.

So, bullshit metric. Noted.

I’m a single user, but switched over four PCs in my home to Linux 🤗

We need more cities to switch away from Microsoft.

In a post focused on Windows 10’s upcoming end-of-support date (October 14), Microsoft EVP Yusuf Mehdi boasts that Windows is the most widely used operating system in the world today, with over one billion monthly active devices globally.

However, it’s been noted that in its 2022 annual report, Microsoft said 1.4 billion devices were running Windows 10 or Windows 11, up from 1.3 billion devices a year earlier.

I think it’s significantly more likely that the number is still around 1.4 billion

I’ve only got one Windows 10 PC still running and I basically never use it anymore. It’s really just my safety blanket in case I happen to someday run into a game where I really, absolutely, cannot possibly play it on Linux. I haven’t found one yet. RIP Windows. You won’t be missed.

Because of w10 ending, and my unwillingness to keep dealing with their horrid bullshit, I’m switching every machine in my offices to Linux mint. I’m not thrilled to have to learn a new os, but so far everything I need works, and it’s not that big of a jump outside of the file system structure being a bit less straight forward.

Linux devices can’t be counted because privacy is something for linux users. But is way more extended than windows: smart tvs, smart speakers, smart sensors, smart potatoes, car infotainment, datacenters, handheld devices… Any person owns way more linux devices than windows and mac combined. Windows is just a toy for gamers and outdated office workers. MS knows that.

Good.
