Hi folks
The long awaited Linux kernel 7.0 now out - on Fedora pre-release (Rawhide) F45 - works brilliantly and runs W11 VM's under KVM/QEMU brilliantly.
With brillianf FAST video editing / photoshop / adobe lightroom etc - I can't see any need for running W11 on a real machine any more.
Kernel 7.0 should silence all those Linux doubters that it has no place on the desktop.
Now please Windows -- still a great OS but 1) update the NTFS filesystem to ahave a bit more resiliency --it's not too bad considering it's nearly 25 years old , and 2) make your update procedures not so bonkers -- I just type in Linux one command dnf upgrade and the whole kybosh just works and in around 2 mins - 3GB updates and all the other stuff removed. Why does windows often take 2 or 3 re-boots and 40 mins to upgrade !!!!.
I know Windows has far more hardware etc devices but these days that's not an issue any more on even recent hardware - and for Linux it runs even on quite ancient hardware while W11 gets more restrictive by the day without really adding anything to the table that around 85% of normal Windows users want to use - in fact they'd probably still be happier on W10 !!!.
Cheers
