I use Linux at home but my work computer uses windows. Work just bought me a new laptop with windows 11 pre-installed and I got ads to upgrade to a new “AI capable computer” on the login screen. This computer is maybe 3 months old and there are already ads telling me I need to get a new one.
We’re a small nonprofit, so we usually just go with whatever is cheap and works most of the time. We don’t have many issues with it, so I don’t think its on the list of things to fix.

🫢you don’t use windows enterprise at work?
You would be suprised how many companies don’t use enterprise version of windows andbjust use regular home ( pro even rarer ).

I run an IT team, and if anyone ever suggested buying Windows Home for business use, they’d have a bad day.

Don’t underestimate cybersecurity, even as small nonprofit…
Seconded. Data breaches at big companies may be what makes the news, but small businesses (and other organizations) are compromised far more often.
