How did you do it at work? I’ve heard of people deploying Linux in a organization but I’m curious of how you did it? What tools are you using?

I’m not in a position where that would be remotely viable but I find it cool anyway

Just kidding but I’ve heard of dumber things.

I once had a client who didn’t want to buy new Office licenses for their brand-new Server 2008 terminal server, so had us install an old copy of Office 97 they had lying around. Surprisingly, it worked.

I upgraded from Windows XP to Vista after the 2nd servicepack fixed most of the shit. By that point it was a tolerable OS.

I am currently hoping for a major service pack next year to fix all the stupid shit they did in Windows 11.

You know kind of like when they fucked up windows 8, attempted a quick fix in 8.1 and finally fixed it in win10.

Of course they are at 4 major updates with win11 and it’s still shit so the hope is very thin.

I can understand if you would want to delay on a personal machine. That’s your call. However, I am of the opinion that you should not gamble the business on it. You should not have any EOL devices in use, period. (Unless it is properly airgapped)

every business still running custom software on XP machines, press X to doubt.

What do you mean? We just migrated that software to a Windows XP VM running on Windows 7! That was just 15 years ago, it’ll be good for another 15 for sure.

Wimdows 11 broke my laptop’s built in screen support, so it’s long overdue for a Linux upgrade. I just can’t decide which-- I like what Steam did with Arch, but I tried Manjaro and it was kind of ok until I borked it messing around as one does. Once I can decide a distro though, fuck Windows.

Manjaro is notorious for getting borked. If you feel you’re able, pure Arch is way better.If you want arch based OS, but with less hassle, I hear endevourOS is good. As for Debian flavour, Linux Mint is a good choice for begginers, many people also stand behind PopOS. Ubuntu used to be the top choice, but people should probably avoid it now, as Cannonical makes some controversial choices.
Good luck!
