Y'all remember when Windows 10 was supposedly their last OS?
🤑
From what I remember that quote was taken out of context.
I could see that. It felt like a weird thing to say. Oh well. My next OS is going to be Linux if I ever get around to buying a new computer. I've been "doing it soon" for a few years lol.
You don't necessarily need a new computer, you could get a new SSD, install Linux there and dual boot for a while.
Very true, but some context, I have a 3080 or 3070 GPU but a CPU from 2009 and a 5400 RPM hard drive with steam games. I'd get like 20 FPS in Elder Ring on lowest settings. My CPU has become a major bottle neck. Over the years I've upgraded everything else but that because that essentially means an entirely new PC
Poor GPU, the rest of the team can't keep up
"Don't worry, I'll have those textures loaded to VRAM in no time! .......... any minute!"
I remember reading about that and it is some subscription fee to get replacements. I always wonder if someone is still paying lol
the last one you "buy", anyway.
That was so hilariously either ignorant or deceitful when they said that.
I reread that quote (in context) many times, and I've concluded that it was a poor choice of words. He meant "latest". He was talking about Windows 10, the latest Windows OS, in a time where XP, 8, 8.1, Vista, and 7 were still maintained to some degree. I wish so much that Win10 would have been the last Windows OS...
