Windows 12 - Intel's 14th-gen Meteor Lake-S desktop to support the unannounced OS

I LOVE WINDOWS 7! I LOVE WINDOWS 7!

It's time to switch to Windows 12, faggot.

Beat windows 11 into fighting shape, make it the OS of the future- don't just give up on it. That is weakness.

I've tried Windows 11 on my 7950X-6900XT computer. Those are pretty strong stats.
The right-click menus are laggy. And not just a little, there's a very noticable delay between my clicking something, and the computer responding.
That's not the sort of thing you can recover from. The whole UI is pretty obviously built out of a web browser, and it performs atrociously.

I'll stick to NixOS and macOS, I think. Windows belongs in a virtual machine, so you can run your work programs that evil businesses will never update to run on a decent operating system.

It's built more for tablets honestly. On my 2 in 1 Pavillion with a i5 core it's pretty stable, especiallyin tablet mode. On a true PC I couldn't tell you. I'm just saying that On principle giving up on something that isnt Windows Vista level of trash is dishonoru. Windows 11 does work, it is just lacking compared to its predecessor. Make it work, keep those coders in the room from sunrise until sunset, make it better. Get rid of the faggy menus. Don't give up.

But I do understand your point. Me I don't run my computer hard, I'm content with my laptop. Those for high performance aren't. I'm just saying giving up and making the alternatives eat your lunch, freaking Microsoft, when its just a few steps from the finish line, is stupid. Fix the problem.

I don't really understand this constant need for supposed innovation when what we have now seems to function quite well. I can understand innovating to a point, as the internet of prior decades is something I'm glad I missed out on. Yet, it would seem more prudent to increase the longevity of Windows 10, rather than repackage it as 11 or 12.

Its about control. It's about the fucking money to generate from the masses.

I've had a machine I keep as sandboxed as possible with Windows 11 on it for the sake of watching it develop. I installed it onto the laptop at the very start of Windows 11, the first day it was available, and so I was able to note down how buggy it was (I documented almost a hundred active bugs or failures of design within the first few days). I unfortunately lost those notes when I lost a lot of data recently, but I've still been able to keep an eye on the development day by day.
It eventually got to the point where it was usable. I'd never use it on my main system, but it was usable. And then as of a few days ago with that new big patch I thought, 'okay, hey, we're getting somewhere'.
As of this Windows 12 leak, it turns out that it is not, in fact, getting there.

There's some fuckery with AMD stuff going on in Windows 11. Just doesn't perform well. The tinfoil side of me thinks Intel and MS teamed up to force people to switch to Intel products. idk. AMD rules on Linux though.

This will sure be the time everyone moves to Linux lmao

Until MS manages to remove every loophole to remove their tracking and debloating, Linux will be niche. Hell, even if Windows become slow as fuck, people will still cling to it since its all they've ever known. Stockholm Syndrome.

not so much Windows 12, currently it's more like 11.1.

Maybe Linux will grow once the community stops fighting over stupid shit like:

How the computer starts (systemd)
How the computer shows images (wayland)
How the computer installs programs (Snaps/Flatpak)
And so many more!

How/why did you lose your data?

Maybe you could give me a copy, I could keep it nice and safe like a bank!

If Twitter user @leaf_hobby says it, it's basically confirmed.

Windows XP was designed to run on as little as 64MB of RAM.
Meanwhile, Microsoft's "secure computing" bullshit will probably prevent Windows 12 from running on anything without a PIS-5 security module installed, despite it offering no benefit to 99% of users.

I remember when SP2 hit, and my 1.2 GHz P4 with 512 MB of RAM turned into a potato. I used Ubuntu and OSX for the next decade or so.

Thanks for making me not regret switching to Ubuntu. At least they give you the option to use the LTS versions or the rolling releases.

Windows 19 where you could still opt-out of the buttplug attachment was the last good Windows.

I know you're just kidding around and I know I'm letting the drama spill over to this thread. But I'm glad you mention buttplugs because in the Windows 11 thread I was really only half joking about anal probes for rectal print scanning [0]. There's a research lab attached to a university that does this kind of, ahem, shit[1][2]. Granted I think most of the articles about smart toilets are an April fool's joke but these days its hard to tell. Covid did happen and Microsoft is exactly the type of company I would expect to screw with users who refused the vaccine. Bill Gates was a self appointed expert in the subject of genetics and immunology.

For the Windows users out there I'll say it again; please continue to use Windows. I find it very funny. I really wouldn't be surprised to find out that the some Microsoft executives are just one upping each other with absurd ways to fuck with Windows users.

While it's true you can't opt-out of the buttplug, they're still gracious enough to include the lube for free as long as you have a Microsoft All-Access Pass with the Xbox Live Gold and Gamepass options. So it's really not going to be that bad. If you don't have those then it's your responsibility to work on having a stronger butthole.
