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)

    Your understanding of Linux is about 10 years out of date my friend. Linux has made massive strides in ease of install and use in recent years.

    If you’re not playing games - and the people buying these machines probably aren’t - then you’ll have as stable and easy an experience with Linux as you would with Windows

      My understanding is 100% up to date.

      I developed games professionally for 2 decades and ran MANY startups. If you think I don’t get it, THINK AGAIN

      Linux people need to get a fucking grip. It’s a shitty tool for EVERYBODY except developers.

      The year of Linux on the desktop was 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025

      You need to understand that your ZEAL shows how little you understand about the overall landscape of OS and tech.
