That was some great Linux advocacy, in his article. :)

Ah, it looks like I was doing the right thing in switching to Linux 
every so often and going back to Windows. It ends up being every two 
months or so.

Seriously though, that's a pretty good advertisement for Linux and a 
defense of its 6-month window for major distribution updates.

I have an old Latitude D430 that started out (when I got it) at either Linux 
Mint 17 or 18 (can't remember which). This computer maxes out at 2GBs of 
RAM. Just to see how it would work, I updated it (step by step) to Linux 
Mint 22. And it did this successfully — it took forever, but I was still 
amazed that it would 1) Even work with the newest Linux Mint and 2) That it 
actually updated four or five full versions (two steps for each major point 
update).

(The Latitude D430 was first released in 2007.)

I only did a major upgrade once with Linux Mint and it was a total 
disaster on my dad's laptop. It technically worked once the process was 
done, but all the graphical elements were suddenly borked. I imagine 
that I could have fixed it if I really wanted to, but I wasn't willing 
to spend a whole day there to fix a computer that's used exclusively to 
post useless content on Facebook.

In my recent experience Ubuntu upgrades need hand holding while Fedora 
goes smoothly. Tomorrow is a test of the Fedora upgrade to 42 that I'll 
probably participate in. A few weeks ago I tested the 42 WSL install from 
a rpm.

When OpenSUSE went to Leaf the recommendation was to do a fresh install 
since upgrades weren't going well. I never did and ran 13.2.

Mt Debian box is still Bullseye since there were reports of problems with 
Bookworm.

Upgrade problems are part of why I think Linux users are better off just 
using a rolling distribution. Both can produce problems, but most 
rolling distributions seem to have ironed out the potential problems 
users might face.

The Fedora KDE spin technically isn't a rolling distribution but it has 
frequent updates so as long as you're current I don't think it's a huge 
step. Ubuntu is only slightly less conservative than Debian. For example 
the Fedora  box is currently installing the 6.13.9 kernel and Ubuntu 24.10 
is 6.11.0.  That has no practical difference for me as far as I can tell 
but other Ubuntu apps are similarly lagging.

Apparently, 6.14 is a major kernel update because of how it handles 
Windows games in Linux. It's supposed to be a lot faster as a result of 
NTSync. Of course, I didn't read too much into it.

Personally not a fan of rolling distributions. I don't mind using older 
versions of applications until the next point or major point update.

If I do have to have the newest I'll go for an AppImage or a Flatpak.

I didn't have that issue at all but, again, I was using an Intel GPU, so 
maybe that was the difference.

He's nuts.  Why not mention Windows "refresh" option, which restores
to "like new" (removes apps and settings) but keeps personal files?
None of the comments mentioned it, either.

The "factory reinstall" would be something an OEM provides, Windows
refresh is something Microsoft provides for when an installation gets
corrupted.  I've been self-installing so long that it seems lame to
me, relying on an OEM or the OS maker to magically do things for you,
although if I wanted Windows on a laptop it'd make financial and
practical sense to use the OEM setup, but of course I'd wipe that
Copilot+ crapware and put Linux on it.

Section 1.

[...] No state shall make or enforce any law which shall

United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of
life, liberty, or property, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws.

Dobbs rewrites this, it is invalid precedent.  States are
liable for denying needed abortions, e.g. TX.

You'd be surprised at how often it allows you to technically do a system 
refresh only to fail during the process. Things like system restore 
aren't enable by default, so you have to go in there and set it up 
before being able to use it. As for factory reinstall, it's only 
available if the image your system is using is the one provided by the 
manufacturer. A lot of us do fresh installations off an ISO, so that 
function isn't available either.

This guy sounds like a major idiot.  

If you need to reinstall every 2 months, you are doing incredibly stupid shit.
 

I just recently upgraded a few Windows 8.1 era (2013 or so) tablets to Windows
10. They still ran 8.1 fine, but it was getting hard to find modern browsers
for 8.1.  Windows 10 runs fine on them.

On my big, 17(?) year old desktop tower (it came with Vista!), I have Windows
7, 8.1 and 10. All still run fine. Never re-installed any of them over the
years. I have loads of drive space in that box, so 7 and 8.1 are still there.
 It helped that I had an MSDN account where I worked. At one point I had
Windows Server (2016 I think) and SQL Server installed on it too.

I did clone Win 10 to a SSD, but that is it. I have put in a bigger power
supply, added RAM, a newer video card and several hard drives over the years.
 It is basically a server at this point. But it was used very heavily during
the Windows 7 and 8.1 years. 

So lots of hardware changes, but many versions of Windows were never a
problem.  Except Vista was a pig and was quickly replaced with 7.  

This guy is so far off in left field, he is WAY off the "tech radar".

That was my impression. I've never reinstalled Windows. TBH I've never 
installed it either. My builds never saw Windows. For boxes that came with 
Windows I used to dual boot, now I do a bare metal Linux install. 
Currently I have one laptop with Windows 11 and that's enough. iirc it 
came with 10 and I eventually upgraded to 11 and applied the 23H2 and 24H2 
patches with no problems. 

Maybe he is a closet Linux recruiter?

Isn’t that a redundant thing to say about Dimdows users? ;)

No, but that is the kind of response I would expect from a Linsux user. 

See how easy that is?   And childish?  Neener neener. 

Is one's worth/adulthood/"manliness" really a function of what software one
runs? Can one be a cheater/abandoning father/drug addict/generally a horrible
person, but as long as YOU use whatever software I use then you are a "real
man"? 

Seriously. It's 2025. Are we STILL obsessed with this shit? "I'm a Real Man
because I run (whatever), you are a pussy because you run (something else)"
was a Big Thing 30 years ago. 

Isn't it time to grow up?

What's this?  It seems the bot "Tyrone" again has emerged from his closet. 

why so long since his last visit?

Perhaps his keeper neglected to charge his battery?

Perhaps the encroachment of AI is threatening his domain?

Whatever, it's again just more of the inane and ineffective
same old same old.

A dumb dog can learn, but a bot not so much.

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!
