It won’t even let me upgrade to 11 on my old desktop. Why is everything requiring more and more power… cough Planned obsolescence
Edit: Huh. I thought my old computer was just a bit crap (it is) but someone more knowledgeable is also complaining https://aussie.zone/comment/1904977
I feel like I’m the only person who hasn’t had issues with win11. My crappy laptop apparently isn’t so crappy since it had no issues with win 11 and in fact got the update about 7 months before my main PC. During the transition, I was working with manually renaming a lot of old trip photos so it did break my workflow since the rename button was removed from the context menu (then later added back as an icon rather than a text box called rename), but then I discovered I could just single click the title of a file and it would rename in less time than it took to rename through the win 10 context menu anyways.
And before I get comments, I have used various Linux distros and also MacOS for periods of time, including as primaries. I’m not a big fan of windows, if I had more money, I’d probably daily an Intel MacBook Pro with MacOS but with Windows in secondary for the few things I use that will not work on Mac or Linux, even through wine or proton. But for my circumstances windows does what I need it to do, and if Microsoft would stop being a little bitch for longer than 5 seconds, I would probably even feel positively about windows
I think by this point the last generation of Intel MacBooks should be somewhat affordable. I think the 2017 airs are going for like $200-400 nowadays, depending on condition

I would love MacOS on a laptop. It would be perfect for music production. It’s just so damn expensive for what you get hardware wise.
If the major audio applications and plugins ran on Linux without an emulator I’d switch immediately.

That’s actually pretty good. I’ll keep an eye out. Would love to be able to add a laptop doing live music but windows is too sketchy.
