Microsoft admits a Windows 11 bug is eating up to 500GB of storage, verify if you are affected.

I really wanna install Linux on my surface pro X

Hmmm. Let me check to see if I'm affected/infected.

Nope! No windows anymore. All good.

What do you use, btw

Microsoft be like: Storage has gotten very expensive? Hold my beer!

We know it isn't Arch because they world have already told us.

Not talking here about Linux anymore.
If you have the data in only one site, and the data is irreplaceable, you have a problem right now. Having it in a RAID gives you some breathing room, but you still should plan and execute a remote backup, somehow. At least for the really critical data. Fire, floods and other phenomena are hard or impossible to predict, and you could lose everything.
If it's not that critical, and you simply don't want the hassle of moving 60TB, I can really empathize with that.

Lol

Fortunately I don't have this problem on any of my personal machines because I formatted all my Windows drives and migrated everything to Linux, which has been a far better experience. Running Bazzite on my gaming machine and Mint on my general use laptop. Also SteamOS on my handheld. Would recommend.

Luckily my work still lets me use Win10 for as long as they give safety updates. Unfortunately for me, it‘s still Windows.

Your school didn't have computer labs? Ours had a bunch that were nearly always empty with all the software you would need for every course. I used them just because the screens were more comfortable than a laptop and it was often quiet in there.

We used to have LAN parties back in the day with dialup internet.

We'd need a dedicated machine to just dial up to the internet and share the connection, because that way it could run for a day or more at a time without crashing and kicking everyone off.

I remember the moment where I realised I could just... plug the modem into my new XP machine now. You could use a computer and share internet and it'd work! For days!

There's a reason XP hung on for so long and the previous versions didn't. XP was the first version of Windows that people felt was good enough and they didn't need anything more.

Misread the inflection on "Can you not?" and snorted

Don't forget about the large number of layoffs

I’ll have what he’s smoking.
