    This is just wonderful news.

    I’ve never used Zorin. It doesn’t seem to match my preferences and needs. Regardless, anyone switching from Windows [and Mac] to any Linux distro is fantastic for all of us, including remaining Windows users (probably not Mac users though).

    Let’s hope more keep switching, leading to a surge in Linux, and open source in general, funding. More people becoming interested in Linux development, potentially turning into more and more open source devs. I think we can be quite optimistic about this.

      It feels pretty fucking ironic when my old macbook/laptop supports new OS versions for a decade, but my few years old high-end gaming PC? Outdated for Win11.

        You can buy a Firewire to USB-C adapter and MacOS knows what to do with a first-gen iPod. If you’ve got a 25 year old mp3 player in functioning condition a current day Mac can make it go.

        You just try making a Zune go.

        As much noise as Microsoft makes about software backwards compatibility, they are absolute fuckpuke at supporting old hardware.

          What? Windows recognizes a zune as a storage device, no different than an old flash drive. What support is needed for an old mp3 player beyond being able to transfer music?
