Believe it or not, if you can settle for Photoshop Elements, Adobe has it on their site as a download for Linux. The rest of the like, to the best of my knowledge, is strictly Windows and Mac.Linux is calling baby! 99% of what I have runs on it now, the only exceptions are halo multiplayer and adobe products.
You say that like it's a bad thing.Windows 11 has been known for its onerous system requirements since before it launched. A new report claims those requirements are keeping a significant number of systems from upgrading and that Windows 11 adoption is lagging. Other reports are far less dire but still not optimistic.
-Not to mention flat out rude.The limitations MS imposed are completely artificial. It's a very transparent attempt to force people to upgrade their hardware. It is plainly pathetic and deeply asinine.
That part barely scratches to surface. I escaped the "red X", by simply not installing the update M$ had labeled "helps to install Windows 10"..After the debacle that was Windows 10 basically fooling Windows 7 users into updating the OS, getting the red X for this is as good as a negative result on labwork for a terminal illness.
Wow, we agreed on something... I'm at odds with this..-Not to mention flat out rude.
In fairness, FireFox does it a lot less, but it still happens. FireFox for the win?Firefox OTOH, completely ignores this nonsense.
Let me see if I've understood you correctly. You're saying that you disagree with yourself for agreeing with me?Wow, we agreed on something... I'm at odds with this..
In this aspect, yes. However, Firefox seems to be more memory intensive. This is a 32 bit machine I'm playing with. When you close a tab, FF doesn't seem to want to give you the memory back. I sometimes have to go into task manager, and make wild guesses about which process to kill to retrieve it. I know, I know, it has to keep the processes running to enable the "recently closed" function to operate. Opera, OTOH, "snoozes tabs". and seems to use less memory overall. However, this is far from a "scientific conclusion", since I use the two browsers at once, but only do certain tasks with each one. Gmail uses a lot of memory, as does Newegg, and they're always on Firefox.In fairness, FireFox does it a lot less, but it still happens. FireFox for the win?
Goodness you need an upgrade!Let me see if I've understood you correctly. You're saying that you disagree with yourself for agreeing with me?

Any of that notwithstanding, I think this board (G-41 Matx), is on its last legs, (**) and it's only just now reached puberty. (Q4/09). It's sad really, it will never got to college, get married, or have children. I'd like to think it will be resurrected after it takes its last trip to the recycling station. But alas, it's spent its life with a heathen, and will likely not ascend to computer heaven, but rather lie moldering in a Chinese dump forever.
(**) It POSTs 4 times before the BIOS roll. That's not a good sign, is it?
But don't you worry, I have another relic waiting in the wings. "As god is my witness", you won't go without someone to disagree with most of the time for long, if at all.
Oh, before I forget, Happy Thanksgiving.
Apparently, at least according to the adoption rate stats, you're far from being alone.But then again, unless you want to be perceived as a slacker by Satya Nadella, you'll rush right out and buy a new rig, just so you can spring for a copy.My system is ineligible for Windows 11 for the best reason of all:
I DON'T WANT THE DAMN THING ON MY PC!!!
Your loss. Windows 11, properly configured, is excellent!My system is ineligible for Windows 11 for the best reason of all:
I DON'T WANT THE DAMN THING ON MY PC!!!
Rumor only. Windows 12 is not in the works ATM.Windows 12.
I'd argue that it is indeed "in production, as Windows 11. Realistically speaking, the crew at Redmond is busy acclimating people to the idea that they have to buy a new rig if they intend to use it, "to its fullest"Rumor only. Windows 12 is not in the works ATM.
These are the W11-compatible parts that I have:Apparently, at least according to the adoption rate stats, you're far from being alone.But then again, unless you want to be perceived as a slacker by Satya Nadella, you'll rush right out and buy a new rig, just so you can spring for a copy.
That would explain why I'm Irish/Italian/French and don't drink.Unfortunately, good versions of Windows, like alcoholism, skip a generation.
Yeah, that'll go over like a Led Zeppelin! If they start a subscription model, how long until the Linux adoption rate exceeds that of Windows? I'd say 3 years at most.Soooo, it's safe to assume that Windon't 11, is only a beta for the (possibly subscription ?), Windows 12.
Using that logic we could say that Windows 23 is currently "in production" as it's being worked on through current versions of Windows. Such logic is utter nonsense and not worthy of a moments consideration.I'd argue that it is indeed "in production, as Windows 11.
Yeah, that's a point you got right. Such is blatantly obvious with the pathetic attempt to limit hardware Windows 11 can be installed on. It is more low-life tactics from a company hell bent on being kings-of-hill in lowlife behavior.Read beteen the lines, there's a least some evidence that they're introducing "planned obsolescence" into the desktop sector..
Then why did you reply, if I may be so bold as to inquire?Using that logic we could say that Windows 23 is currently "in production" as it's being worked on through current versions of Windows. Such logic is utter nonsense and not worthy of a moments consideration.
