    You’re gonna be fine. Honestly, if your team has given you permissions to do something accidental like this then it’s on them. You’re not gonna get stuck with the bill. You’re not gonna get fired. It wouldn’t be your fault.

    It’s really only scary when you’re doing it solo with your own back information lol.







  • Idk why you’re talking like that, I wasn’t trying to contradict your point, I was just making conversation and sharing my experience.

    But anyways, to answer,

    1. Given the chance to upgrade to 11, I probably would’ve come close.
    2. I wanted to get a new computer (and have) for years. I’d upgraded everything except the CPU and it was starting to be a problem. Some games are beginning to use the x64 “v3” instructions. Elden Ring ran at 20 fps despite having a 3070 ti.
    3. Around the time I first started to look into work arounds was around the time the recall screenshot stuff started coming out. I didn’t want to abandon something working with a workaround just because it’s new and shiny. (If I was still using that computer I’d probably try doing the workarounds now. I’ve already had a BIOS/UEFI issue and I don’t wanna upgrade to an OS that technically is only supported on UEFI because of that negative experience.)
    4. Yes, I have tried Linux before. It’s just always been on a secondary thing like a laptop. Dual booting is a waste (in my view) so I decided, fuck it, new computer will be Linux only from the start.

    If Windows 10 support had been longer, Windows 11 didn’t have such a horrible spyware thing (literal screenshots), or my computer was a little newer then I probably wouldn’t switch. It was a perfect storm of circumstances, I admit.

    Since then the only problems I have run into are very specific ham radio programs that only have Windows support, and even those work on Wine, but it’s annoying. I’ve just been borrowing my wife’s laptop. Typically things like firmware flashing programs. CHIRP works perfectly (another program) on all platforms.

    Edit: also I had an annoying experience with OneDrive recently. Just a lot of negative things right at the end.
