The expected use time of a dishwasher is 10 years. Which is a machine with mechanical parts and a lot of wear and tear, corrosive chemicals, decaying seals, etc. A computer with fewer movable parts and a higher price should last longer. That software manufacturers don't support that notion is a problem that needs to be dealt with.
- AdrianB1 5y agoIf you read again, the claim is that after a failed Windows 10 update that device ran another 7 years on Ubuntu. As Windows 10 was launched less than 7 years ago, that is a lie.
- corty 5y agoWith a sufficiently generous interpretation it might have been a preview build. But then he wouldn't be entitled to complain, because of course a preview might break. More probably you are right.
- Guest42 5y agoI don’t have an exact timeframe in my head and wrote things on the fly. The point is that Ubuntu is going perfectly fine and will continue to do so whereas windows bricked the system. I also think it’s common practice with year estimation to round up to the next year.
- tjoff 5y agoI agree, but I don't think windows falls into that category. For what it is worth, win10 is in my experience pretty great (in this regard). And windows by and large have also been that way. My 8 year old sony laptop had kludges to be supported by windows 8 (which it came with...). Sony quit the laptop game before win 10 and I figured it would be a nightmare to ever get off win8. Turns out Windows 10 was way easier to install than what was ever officially supported (especially if you wanted a clean install) and there are no issues keeping it up to date. And even that is dwarfed by desktops.
