#74080 — microslop frustrated

the misses got this from M$, they know windows 11 must be doomed with 
poor uptake, imagine the numbers still using win10 to force them to do 
this...  or its a secret plot, she wanted linux put on her laptop and we 
were going to do that in next few weeks, so to stave off more of an 
exodus to linux they pull this stunt :)


Stay secure for another year

Linux will only gain significant market share if businesses, or 
corporations, government agencies, etc., start using it. ie. other than 
personal use. personally I don't care if that doesn't happen, since the 
more it's in use the more it will be a target for hackers and scammers
