The sad thing is that people will buy this shit

Same shit coming to Australia

I get the bitter taste in the mouth, but when the alternative is Windows??? I made my choice and bought an iMac recently so that I could finally ditch the last windows pc in the house (everything else is Linux). And then had my work PC updated to Win11 last week. Uggghhh …

Having more time to spend learning a new distro

You wonder though, with the big players, whether they can lobby / pay off trump in some way to not be affected? I mean look at how the China tariffs changed overnight to not include mobile phones etc. Can’t have the majority of Apple’s production being subject to tariffs (they sure can’t make them in the US for the same cost)!

Thanks for all the replies. It’s a single 1TB SSD so gparted sounds like the way to go. Can always just reformat windows to ext4 and mount that separately too if I chicken out of resizing 🤣

Cool. Yeah, that sounds like the easiest solution. Just want to make that space available without screening things up.

Thanks for the reply, and good to know!

I think I’ll blow away the windows install on this machine completely.

I still have another pc for some audio tools that don’t run under Linux, but this machine is my daily driver now and I couldn’t be happier.

So, excusing my ignorance as a fairly recent Linux convert, what does this mean for my dual boot system?

I haven’t booted windows for weeks and am pretty sure there have been no updates since it was freshly reinstalled (maybe 6 months ago) as a dual boot with Debian.

Is this only a problem if I allow Windows to update?

Are Microsoft likely to fix the issue in a subsequent release?
