Windows 11 doesn't support AMD processors...

General
  • How unlike Microsoft to completely alienate a significant portion of the gaming PC market by rendering thousands of AMD based processors incapable of running Windows 😕

    Personally, I run Windows from home but only for work purposes (integration). Aside from that, I primarily use KDE Neon so couldn’t care less what Micro$oft do in terms of Windows 11, but, I am curious about how this impacts others.

    Interested in starting a conversation - particularly as support for Windows 10 ends in 2025. Sounds like light years away, but we’re already rapidly approaching the second quarter of 2022. Will you buy a new system, or defect to Linux ? 🙂

    Here’s my system

    How strange to alienate users? 🤔.

    I’d switch to Linux anyway, it’s just unfortunate that the mass market comes geared with Windows OS products and the only way to chance them ( and I could be wrong) is to completely delete the windows OS and boot Linux or dual boot so you have the option of both?

    @JAC Virtually all Linux distro’s allow you to live boot meaning you could easily spend a day testing everything to ensure you’re happy before actually installing it without even touching your existing operating system.

  • the only feature I want from windows 11 is running android apps 😛

    i know we can run apps using emulators but it would be a nice feature to have which is built by windows.

    @Hari interesting. Why would you want to run Android apps on windows ?

  • For me Windows is just for gaming and for my Work.

    Otherwise, Manjaro is very good 🙂

    Amen to that !! 🙂

    Tried Manjaro, but couldn’t get on with it. Not sure why, but it just didn’t click with me.

  • for me the fact that it’s a rolling release means a lot to me and the fact that it’s also based on Arch.

    But I understand, when you don’t like it, you don’t like it 🙂

    @DownPW KDE Neon is also a rolling release 🙂

  • Ha ha great news.

    I didn’t know that KDE released their own distibution 🙂

    EDIT:

    However, I just read that it is based on Ubuntu. And that bothers me a bit.

    @DownPW It’s not their own as they use Ubuntu / Debian as the back-end, but it is still a rolling release nonetheless.

  • @Hari interesting. Why would you want to run Android apps on windows ?

    @phenomlab we use this app called WhatsApp Business and it has over 50k conversations and the web version won’t load et al and takes forever to load. recently they have added this featured called multi-login now it takes 5min to load but it’s still buggy … it’s better to run the android app in windows or use chrome book or something to handle such a number of conversations. the client (a non-profit organization) is
    not interested to opt for WA API services. if this number grows to 1 lack or 2 lack conversations the situation will be un imaginable.

    @Hari That’s more of software design flaw in my view, and not something you should fix by natively running Android apps in Windows. If the Web version of WhatsApp doesn’t work, then this sounds more like some sort of GEO block. Are you able to provide any console errors that appear when connecting ?

    @phenomlab we are okay with it at this moment but this is what i see

    @phenomlab this looks very nice as well. It is nice that they keep the KDE Neon a rolling release so you will get those updated apps even though Ubuntu isn’t a rolling release. Is it a rolling distro? KDE neon is rolling for KDE software. The Ubuntu base OS is not, but certain packages will be updated as needed to support KDE software requiring newer library versions than what is provided by Ubuntu. Apps from the main repositories are not rolling either, and therefore can be up to two years old. Users are encouraged not to use them, and to instead get apps from Snap or Flatpak using KDE’s Discover app store. In neon, Discover is set up to only show apps from these sources, filtering out apps from the repositories.

    That is like saying to a robber and murderer, hey come on in here and take all my things and by the way before you leave go ahead and stab me in the chest.

    @DownPW Very tiring. Seems to happen more often than not.

    @Panda said in Wasting time on a system that hangs on boot: Why do you prefer to use KDE Linux distro, over say Ubuntu? A matter of taste really. I’ve tried pretty much every Linux distro out there over the years, and whilst I started with Ubuntu, I used Linux mint for a long time also. All of them are Debian backed anyway I guess I feel in love with KDE (Neon) because of the amount of effort they’d gone to in relation to the UI. I agree about the lead and the OS statement which is why I suspect that Windows simply ignored it (although the Device also worked fine there, so it clearly wasn’t that faulty)

    As an aside to this, there is also the command of tasklist which will provide a list of processes running on your machine, or a remote machine you are looking to query. [image: 1678806102692-000a408c-cc7e-450f-8e5e-bed9a4238a05-image.png] There is also a useful list of switches below, plus the ability to format into a table, or CSV. https://ss64.com/nt/tasklist.html

    @phenomlab said in Advantages and disadvantages of changing to Ubuntu?: @jac Yeah, I wouldn’t just leap into it unless you have a valid reason (such as the laptop no longer working and needing to be reinstalled). Probably better the devil you know currently. Absolutely mate, and generally as discussed that is the only time I have changed over to Ubuntu once the laptop has got slower. For now I will carry on with Windows, purchase the VPN & BitDefender in later October / early November and then see how all that runs for a few more months .
