Waiting for Microsoft Windows 12 is a mistake when you can upgrade to Linux today
The tech world is full of rumors about Windows 12, the supposed savior of Microsoft’s operating system lineup. The company has been tight-lipped about details, but leaks suggest it’s aiming to be a more cloud-focused, AI-driven operating system. That all sounds fancy, but here’s the truth -- waiting for Windows 12 might not be the smart play. If you’re tired of the bloat, the constant updates, and the never-ending resource demands, there’s an alternative you can embrace today: Linux.
Microsoft has spent years refining Windows, but with every iteration, it seems to get heavier, slower, and, frankly, more intrusive. Windows 12 promises new features like AI enhancements and tighter cloud integration, but do you really need an AI telling you how to use your PC? For most users, these features feel like unnecessary fluff rather than meaningful improvements. Instead of waiting for an operating system that may or may not meet your needs, you could switch to Linux -- a free, lightweight, and privacy-respecting solution that puts you in control.

While we've heard that Microsoft only plans to release the Windows 11 24H2 update this year, holding off releasing Windows 12 until 2025, Qualcomm's suggestion of a mid-2024 launch for Windows 12 is not the first time this release window has been suggested.
