On eligible.PCs that are already running Windows 11 21H2. Title is a bit clickbaity, implying it’s forcing an update on any eligible PC running any version of Windows.

Yeah, I might be quite thoroughly put out with Microsoft’s bullshit this last few major OSes, but this title misses the mark.

I never thought I’d say this but I’m also on Fedora. It turns out that it’s the perfect distro for me, as it is one of only 3 distros to contain all the packages I need, the other 2 being Arch and NixOS, but Arch is rolling release (I don’t like rolling cuz I forget to update for weeks and things break) and NixOS is immutable (Sometimes I need to compile from source for my uni work) and I’ve been having issues with SDDM on NixOS (even if I rolled back, the issue would reappear on the next rebuild), so Fedora it is. It just works once set up, the only downside is that to get all the packages I need, I had to get a TON of copr repos, so I need to document my install process.
