    This is important when windows inevitably dies (subscription-based Windows 12?!) and linux mint gets flooded. Better have the “new” thing from the start

      Windows won’t die what are you talking about? Windows 12 subscriptions are a) just a rumor and b) not for the entire os, just certain features like AI and stuff

        I heard there will be a ”windows 365". If windows goes full online like office 365 then the underlining OS could be everything Linux.

        Windows is already dead.

        Just a matter of time until people realize they’re on a dead platform.

          You know like 70% of desktops run Windows right? That’s not what I would call “dead”. Almost every company out there uses Windows on their computers.

          Don’t get me wrong, I would love it if Windows died but there are no signs at all of that happening any time soon.

          Other than me, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a person, business, etc, in the wild running Linux.

          Even business signs/billboard I’ve seen run Windows.

            They did write "Just a matter of time until people realize… " for clarity. 💀

      As long as there is software that only runs on Windows, Windows won’t die.
