    It’s fine because Microsoft is shipping out 10gb drives with every W11 license purchase, right?

    Lols. Just a few days I got an update to Plasma 6.2 on Linux, and it’s stunningly beautiful and fast.

    One makes the computer better and is free. The other… Well…

      Plasma 6.2

      This is a really great release. Since the KDE Gear and Framework update yesterday all gripes I experienced with the Plasma 6 Megarelease are fixed.

      Everytime I get a KDE update I am looking forward to trying new cool stuff.
      Every Patch Tuesday I get an overwhelming feeling of dread.

      It’s been 30 years and jokes about Windows expanding to fill available space still work.

      I wouldn’t. This isn’t a real problem but you’ll probably make one if you force delete things marked as necessary for Checkpoint Updates. This 8.5gig of “stuff” is only there because 24H2 is still in Beta and it has incorrectly marked some things from the 23H update as required for future updates.

        Is 24H2 still “beta” because I am surely not in the technology preview ring and not in any other preview program?
        Because my PC got it installed and it looks to me as it’s right now becoming GA status.

    WTF is up with this 24H2 update I keep hearing about?

    It appears to have a ton of issues, from this to permanently BSOD’s people’s computers?

      The first thing you have to know is that it hasn’t been released yet! That’s right, every one of these articles screaming about 24H2 bugs is based on Preview, commonly called Beta, software.

      This particular issue being caused because Microsoft is moving to “Checkpoint Updates” so that updates will install faster and be smaller in size.

      Right now 24H2 is marking parts of 23H3 as necessary for future updates so they can’t be deleted. This will 100% be fixed before 24H4 goes RTM.

      Basically this one is a non-issue. It’s being used as an outrage generator.

      It’s actually a shit article that doesn’t do anything to explain why this is happening, because once you know WHY you realize this is NBD and will be going away when 24H2 is actually released.

      This article isn’t great but at the bottom it does explain what’s going on.

    Today at work I have noticed that on one user’s computer there were 22 GB of some Windows Update files remaining in C:\WINDOWS\CSC that don’t show up in Disk Cleanup tool. That’s typical Windows bullshit.
