As far as I know, AOSP is largely maintained by Google. Without the Google Play Services you lose key functionalities such as notification service or the ability to use home banking apps.

While alternative play services such as microG exist, in my personal experience they are buggy as hell. My banking apps continued not to work and notifications were often delayed by several hours.

I’d love a real opensource linux alternative driven by the community without a big tech dictating what goes in or not. We’re not there yet but it’s cool to see people trying.

The maps in act 2 and 3 already felt too long and repetitive, if normal mobs just take longer to clear that’s a big turnoff to an already underwhelming experience.

I use Linux exclusively but I don’t think it’s relevant to the discussion.

I would rather use windows 11 than any other EOL version of windows. I loved windows XP when it came out, wouldn’t dare to use it today.

It might be a remote exploit or it might not. An OS is not just a program that runs in the background, if it is critically important.

These kind of exploiters don’t tend to attack you in particular, they have botnets scanning the web for any compromised machine.

Running windows 10 is fine today, might not be fine after EOL. It is irresponsible to shrug it off and not even consider the alternatives out there, including windows 11.

The problem is that as soon as a security issue is found on windows 10 it won’t be fixed, it is perpetual. In Windows 11 it will probably be fixed before you even know it exists.
