Amid RAM price hikes, Microsoft reportedly raises Windows license cost, forcing OEMs to hike prices even further on hardware

They’re trying to kill the home PC. They’ll have all of the computing power and we’ll have subscription access.

And they’d get away with it too if it wasn’t for those damn Linux distributions.

Look at the long game. Installing a Linux distro is great. But what happens when your GPU/CPU/SSD dies and you can’t afford or buy replacements?

They got more time and can afford to wait us out.

old hardware still runs great on linux. they’ll have to force windows apps on people and linux will prolly run them as well.

Old hardware is old. It will die eventually, and at some point there will be no more old hardware. Then what?

we’ll cross that bridge if we get there
