    Even more reason to leave Windows behind

    I guess it also confirms that the next gen of Ryzen chips is also not launching before Windows 10 goes EoL

    People, shall we read the full article first?

    Meanwhile, this is not the case with the Ryzen 9000 series desktop parts as the spec sheet of that says:

    OS Support

    Windows 11 - 64-Bit Edition , Windows 10 - 64-Bit Edition , RHEL x86 64-Bit , Ubuntu x86 64-Bit

    So the new Ryzen AI chips that most people don’t care about won’t support Win 10, but Ryzen 9000 (the real deal desktop chips) will.

    To be frank, the article title is misleading at best.

      Absolutely correct, Microsoft giving everyone the reason to finally switch to Linux and AMD not wasting time or energy on that steamy pile of crap

      We get it, Linux good Windows bad. I agree, but we don’t need to see this comment on every post.

        Almost like discussing AMD’s driver support on alternate OSes is relevant.

        If you got upset by someone mentioning Linux, just scroll by. Or downvote if you really are that petty.

      Probably nothing, because the demand is coming off more from laptop OEMS, who always push the latest OS as a bullet point for sales.

      For example, Framework doesn’t officially support Windows 10 through their drivers, regardless if it’s Intel or AMD. Especially since all the major laptop OEMs are going full AI, windows 10 support isn’t a remote priority of any of these laptops.

      Windows 10 is basically at the line where Windows 7 was. You have the choice of going to whatever Microsoft is doing, Going to linux, or do what WIndows 7 users do and stubbornly not move to linux despite you wanting what the linux market offers, until theyre forced off it down the line when things like google’s chrome electron apps stop supporting the OS (e,g Steam, Discord) down the line.

      $0. If they can’t get support from MS then they won’t be able to support it either. Also, they don’t make money at all on supporting an OS that isn’t sold. Any hours spent on maintaining support is unrecoverable expense.
