And from the glowing reviews it’s clear that

  1. W11 doesn’t actually need a new PC to run and the limitations are completely artificial

  2. For many people, a ten years old PC is fast enough (or even faster than a brand new Intel N100 PC that is officially W11 compatible). They won’t even notice that’s something from 2015, as long it has a shiny new case, enough RAM and SSD

  3. Amazon doesn’t care that the PC comes with pirated software, or that someone is scamming their customers, as long they get their 15% cut from marketplace sales (the cost of a genuine license of W11 pro and office exceeds the price of those ewaste specials)

      Give it up.

      Lengths required for this solution: purchase computer and use it.

      Lengths required for Linux: spend 10 years understanding all the technical underpinnings so that you can get a basic install going and then realize you can’t accomplish 98% of what you need to because it’s a piece of shit not made for desktop use.

    I keep repeating this, my i5 750 (2009 pc), oc at 3.6ghz can do any fucking thing most people do with their computer. With a 1060 gpu, It plays like 90% of the games , I’ve made pro audio and video projects on it, even a small vr game.

      I dont think that GPU could handle any game in the past 5-10 years though. So 90% of games doesn’t seem right.

        1060 is probably more powerful than the steam deck and that things run almost everything. You don’t have to play at 4k/ultra.
