I think Microsoft is releasing 24H2 updates on a pilot basis because they want to see what keyholes they missed so that when the actual release date comes for the general public to get the update, they will have fixed the bugs.

I had never ran Linux more than a few days at a time before, but the laptop has now been on Zorin 17.1 for a month and everything just works. Granted I don't game on it anyway, but the out-of-the-box experience is sublime. No hoops to run though after installation and I haven't even had to fire up the terminal yet. If I ever install Windows on it again it sure won't be 11.

@@teksyndicate Definitely, there still are a few issues like launchers breaking every now and then (2K previous year, EA occasionally) and Easy AntiCheat breaking due to using glibc in an outdated way (which objectively is inferior) but mostly those get fixed pretty quickly. If I look at the games which don't run, outside invasive kernel-level cheat (which you shouldn't run anyway in my opinion) it is rare that a game doesn't run, the one exception which I have in my library is Far Cry 3, Ubisoft does something weird with DRM which nerves the performance in such a way that the FPS fluctuates between 50 and 150 all the times while standing still on the opening island, this with a 3700X and 5700 XT.

@@mbsfaridi Please don't do that! If you dual boot, install both OS's on a DIFFERENT SSD and just select from which SSD to boot to change the OS. You are asking for trouble if you install those on the same SSD. You can fix it if it goes wrong but new Linux users might not be able to fix it considering that an update from Windows can easily make your Linux-distro unbootable, in that case you have to chroot into your Linux distro and fix it which new Linux users will struggle with. Windows doesn't care about your Linux install, it messes up partitions during updates from time to time, changing the partiton-number for your Linux distro or causing your motherboard to use the Windows-bootloader instead of the Linux-bootloader which also can start Windows (but the WIndows-bootloader refuses to start Linux).

This is best for those who don't want a ms account or just straight up want a local account for the get go. Ah Windows 7. I just signed in using my ms account and then switched to a local one on windows 11. I literally only created a ms account when I had to sign into Windows 8. MS essentially forced me into creating one. I moved my windows 8 laptop user account to a local one late last year after moving to a local one on windows 11

Thank you.

I just bought a new 2024 Lenovo 7i Gen 9 and it (of course) comes with Windows 11 installed. I'm thinking of removing the SSD that's in it and installing a different one with Windows 10. Keeping the original SSD intact just in case I need warranty work done. Any problems in doing that? I'm running 10 on my desktop and am perfectly happy with that. For those times that Windows drive me crazy, I can boot into Linux instead as I have it setup for dual boot.

How can i redo this? I just se5 it up and want to be personal, is it difficult to switch back to the reboot first time process?

l have never seen an "I don't have wifi" option on a laptop. I have to either disable wifi on the machine or usually I just make a microsoft account. then make a local administrator account, login to that, and delete the microsoft account. Will this still work?

I expect you will always be able to have local account though. Really Google on Android is way more aggressive with sign-in everywhere always. Curious how it will be once this update is released later for fresh installs. I do have Enterprise edition so yeah.

@@teksyndicate Which in my opinion is very much fair. I speculate that you use music-production software which is Windows only. It is about which carries more weight for the user: the necessity or need to use certain software vs the discomfort of using that operating system. I myself dumped Windows 4 years ago for my private computing, I occasionally had to use it due to external circumstances which I do not control in which case I use a VM. I sacrificed a few games which I liked to play by dumping Windows. For me personally the user-experience of using Windows is that bad that I am not willing to deal with that unless I really need to use certain software (work or education) but I am not stuck to using certain Windows-only software for music or video-editing so for me it is relatively easy to do that. Professional musicproduction and video-editing definitely are possible (it is being done by professionals) on Linux but I get it that people are used to certain software and don't always have the time or interest in changing that. Honestly, I hope that more and more developers who currently are not supporting Linux are willing to change this now that Windows has become so user-hostile. Sometimes those developers have bad will, sometimes it just is difficult to port the software after having developed it for that one operating system for so long and being locked in with certain libraries and all that. Note though that there also is Linux-only software which can help a lot at times though much of the better Linux-software also gets ported to Windows, like GIMP and Krita.

@dreaper5813 "And don't give me that BS that there is no other options." I think that - as for what's actually helpful that can come from us as I agree with you - we should state these alternatives and provide support throughout (to the best of our abilities) when asked. A lot of the gung-ho "figure it out yourself" behaviours/beliefs in certain Linux communities isn't helpful at all for entry level; it comes off as ivory tower nonsense to the layman. Basic accessibility and entry-level knowledge have always been the primary struggles with introducing people to get into Linux (I know; I've been teaching people on how to make the full switch to Linux for almost a decade). The popularity of Linux Mint supports this hypothesis to be significant, and even some Linux courses show this. If there's no frame of reference as to where to even just search and learn, then urging people to switch to Linux is a dead-in-the-water deal, especially with Microsoft's aggressive and invasive marketing of accessibility.

@dreaper5813 I understand where you are coming from and you definitely are correct that many people can switch to other software to get the same done, be it music-production, video-editing or art (an artschool in Paris fully switched to Linux-software for this). But we also have to take into consideration that many of these guys just want to do their thing - like making music - and not have downtime while figuring out how to get this done with other software on a system which is a bit strange to them to some extend. Much of the software which can do great things just isn't as known and as low threshold. One of those jewels is Natron.

I get even more Big Brother vibes than I already had with Microsoft. It runs chills down my spine. A user that bloody payed for windows should have the right to bloody do on his personal machine whatever he wants. How long will it take before Microsoft starts dictating what programs you can run on Windows? How long before there will be a allowed/not allowed software list, and when you try to surpass it, Windows will stop functioning? It looks like we are already on that road.

It's a specific example, but imagine you're setting up a new endpoint for a business that only has W10 machines with local users and no domain controller. This new endpoint comes with W11, now you need to either make a throwaway MS account, or have the user sign into their PC with their own personal MS account on a work machine since their work email is not set up for AzureAD to then create a local user with netplwiz... when it could just stay a feature in the installer.
