What computer OS system should I purchase within the next 3 months?

Peter Brooks

My home computer is coming to the end of it's useful life. It is a AMD CPU based Tower with Windows 7 OS.

In view of reported technical problems and cost associated with Windows 11, I am reluctant to purchase a new Windows based computer system.

Should I jump to an Apple Mac using MacOS version 14 Sonoma  or one of the Linux OS systems that use a AMD CPU?

    Windows 11 is highly compatible with Windows 7.  Unless you're running ancient applications that Windows 7 only barely supported.  Drivers maybe less so if you have old peripherals.

    Hello Simon:

    I have never liked Microsoft as they are constantly trying to steal/monitor/sell your information and it is getting worse with latest version which snapshots your screen every 3 seconds (Recall/Copilot +).

    I have never liked Intel, having had to work with them over my working years.That why I like AMD CPU's.

    I don't think anybody actually likes Microsoft.  The only real advantage of Windows is that it's Windows-compatible, which means there's endless software out there to run on it.
