Cool… I’ll stick with my wires that work every time and don’t have latency, batteries, and connection problems thanks.

Just because Ubuntu left it behind doesn’t mean there aren’t distros still supporting 32 bit.

However, anything still running x86 without x86_64 support is hella old at this point.

Nah I saw it on FF as well. Forcing an update on the “Quick Fixes” blocklist on uBlock Origin got rid of it.

While I agree, why so much punctuation?

Germany has done this multiple times before. Microsoft has historically swept in with some sweetheart deal to lure them back.

Hopefully it sticks this time.

Are you sure about that? You still have to step through a dozen setup screens and forcefully sign into a Microsoft account. Then, you have to update your new computer and reboot 4-5 times to install all updates often sequentially.

Meanwhile, in Linux-land, it installs the latest packages and updates during install when using a net installer.

You can turn that off and apply patched live, if you prefer. It’s just a toggle.

Technically rebooting and installing updates is “safer” but I’ve never had an update applied to a running system fail catastrophically, because unlike Windows, operating system components are compartmentalized. As such, restarting most system components causes no issues with functionality for everything else.
