Why would I throw away a machine just for the sake of Windows 11 which a lot of people will because they always want the latest and greatest so they say.

All this why we are meant to be saving the planet really, all this scrap computer parts that will be in your local tip.

Microsoft gives zero shits about what you do with your old hardware... whether you upgrade to W11, keep W10, or throw Linux on instead, they make next to nothing. They aren't forcing you to do anything with it, and do not care.

They really don't want you putting LInux on it and avoiding having an all Windows system or seeing that Linux is easier and less costly to support. They depend on people not knowing about it.

Agree 100%

Doesn't bother me though, I'm a fully converted Linux User now. have been the last couple of years. I personally like my workflow in linux now.

Not instead, in addition to.

If Hyper-V Server as a single product is going away, then it can't be "in addition to". He said Hyper-V Server, not Hyper-V.

ASHCI is MS doubling down on Hyper-V, not abandoning it.

Right, not what I was referring to. He said, "Hyper-V Server". We all know that Hyper-V is not going away.

I was Indeed Meaning Hyper-V Server, not the Hyper-V role.

I am wondering if MS expects businesses to be all cloud in the next ten years? Those that are not, they don't care about.

Is indeed what they want I believe, especially with Windows 365. They already had a method of creating RDS solutions in Azure. They have just made it easier to do with Windows 365.

Shit, many companies thought this 20 years ago...

Yep, And that old machine that has loads of memory and still a decent processor but don't meet the requirements, well Windows 365 now supports Windows 11 Funny Enough.

I'm not really surprised by this, but remember people still use dedicated servers. I have one in a data center using proxmox. Microsoft won't be bothered about these though as they want people using their data centers anyway.

@obsolesce I should of imagined it had something to do with Azure.

Let's talk about why Microsoft are not releasing Hyper-V Server no more. I should imagine they were eventually going to kill it, but they have done it quite quickly then imagined.

Picked up my replacement Pixel 4A today, Speaker went in the old one.

I would of thought the industry standard would be vmware. I know a lot of datacenteres use KVM/Proxmox though

I used to use XCP-NG couldn't fault it, moved over to proxmox a while back. I have had no issues with Proxmox. Last time I use Vmware was a couple of businesses was using esxi 6.5 I believe. I personally have no issue with Vmware just have no interest in using it in production.

Non-profit's IT manager accused of embezzling $400k by buying gear, services from his own fake companies.

Boss used org's credit card to buy stuff from Amazon, Square accounts he set up, say prosecutors.

I would personally use RHEL or Rocky Linux rather then Centos/Stream

Just wondered if anyone else uses this to mount smb/cif shares locally. Dolphin does mount shares but when using programs the shares don't work correctly. however using SMB4K mounts locally with no issues. or do most of you mount using fstab? I think gnome doesn't have this issue with their built in file browser.

@pete-s haha, thanks pete

Might just tell my mate to bring a usb round, might be easier. he's got a brand new smart tv so it will be able to read the files.

@pete-s DVDStyler does recode them I believe. It's just the program that is having issues. I know quite a few windows programs automatically recode as well.

@dashrender it's not for me, otherwise I would. Last time I burnt a dvd was a few years ago on windows.
