  • In a post focused on Windows 10’s upcoming end-of-support date (October 14), Microsoft EVP Yusuf Mehdi boasts that Windows is the most widely used operating system in the world today, with over one billion monthly active devices globally.

    However, it’s been noted that in its 2022 annual report, Microsoft said 1.4 billion devices were running Windows 10 or Windows 11, up from 1.3 billion devices a year earlier.

    I think it’s significantly more likely that the number is still around 1.4 billion





  • From what I understand, xorg has fundamental security flaws. How will they remedy this?

    They won’t. Don’t download random shit and if you’re worried, run it in Flatpak

    What happens when the Linux kernel drops support for xorg? Do they intend to fork an older version of the kernel in order to keep support?

    Not really possible, since X11 is only built on top of the kernel’s graphical interface (same as Wayland). Even if that wasn’t the case, the kernel doesn’t delete any code that anybody uses (that’s why 30 year old programs still run)
