After catching up to this newfangled recall controversy, it’s some pretty harrowing stuff that makes me NOT wanna go from Windows 10 at all.
So the big question is, will this be the nail in the bill gates coffin of people adopting mainstream distros of Linux like Mint and Ubuntu? It might not jive with the “normie” folks who just use it for browsing etc, but more online orientated people like you and I.
I am surprised with this security worry hasn’t made people advertise Linux more publicly to the mainstream.
And lastly, MS surely is going to backstop on this right? Between the Xbox fiasco and this, its just damaging their PR optics even further.
What do you think? Will it actually push the Linux train wagon? Will Microsoft just continue this fat mess anyway?
In many cases there simply isn’t an alternative to windows. I work in industrial automation, and the software and tools we need only run on windows and there is no change to that in sight. We unfortunately just have to cope with this. What I think is, that enterprise OS versions will be able to disable this stuff entirely because it’s a major issue WRT things like customer sensitive solutions.
Okay, in my field of work (it sys admin) you mostly need a Browser. So Linux is higher performance.
