Windows 12 could be another costly upgrade for supporters of Microsoft operating systems. A new report reveals that the AI-dominated OS will require AMD and Intel CPUs with a dedicated NPU. Possibly surfacing in late 2026, the follow-up to Windows 11 may also rely on subscriptions.

          I do and don’t. I want the stuff I use to work and I want a seamless transition as is going from android to iPhone or windows to mac. But this is all dependent of what distro I use and what my uses are. Which is what makes Linux so unique and great versus windows having bloatware hell and 3 versions which are all basically identical plus AI slop.

            I just partitioned my drive thinking I might need windows for occasional tasks. I spend 99% of my time in Linux. I’ve only switched over a few times really just to organize old things. I’ll likely eventually just do away with windows to free up the space. I don’t really spend time in the console and spend less time solving issues in linux than I did in windows. For a lot of things, stuff just works.

            Well you can’t have both 1 and 0. And it seems like you are choosing 0.

            You have your demands but part of moving to Linux is accepting things will be different. Mostly in a better way, but you’ll also not have everything from your Windows experience. Sitting around waiting for Photoshop to come to Linux, you’ll be sitting until retirement and beyond.

            You could always dual boot? Or run Windows in a VM for when you need Photoshop.
