Hi everyone,
I sure your all wondering why modern pc computing has become exceptionally expensive and intolerable to use there 4 reasons for this, there solutions to some of these problems some aren’t the best but better than nothing.
If you need help upgrading your computer it switch operating system i am here to help
Reason 1:
RAM manufacturers have sort of pulled away from consumer from producing enough RAM - memory for your computers due a shortage and then these manufacturers up the retail cost for your buy ram for gaming, productivity for work or school and these prices are now heavily inflated.
Reason 2:
The reason is why you see these inflated prices is because Ai is taking over and Ai companies that are buying up the RAM global supply leaving consumers with nothing, Ai is taking over and a lot of jobs are being laid off leaving people in a crisis to support them selves and there families.
Reason 3:
If your familiar with Microsoft Windows operating system which is used world wide, but in the last 3 yrs since Microsoft launched windows 11 a lot of consumers, businesses and governments refuse to install windows 11 because windows 11 violates privacy rights to you as a consumer by spying on you when you use your computers first home use such as gaming, internet browsing, emails, productivity for photoshop, video editing for content creation etc…. A lot of people are now switching operating systems to a Linux distribution system to play games and productivity.
People are finding other software alternatives to support software creators without being out of pocket for use costs to themselves, there work means or their families for entertainment and work means and moving operating systems as well.
Reason 4: Linux and macOS is growing exponentially in the market for users to work and entertainment, macOS is primarily getting used for productivity for work with business’s and some people like the macOS ecosystem because it syncs up with there Apple devices, even though Linux has been around for a long time it has been popular to a certain point but now it’s up so much in popularity because Linux gives users control back with privacy and other things, your operating system should be serving you not the we serving the operating system via Ai like Microsoft wants and this why Microsoft is dying due there windows 11 crap.
Solutions:
Solution 1: if your still set on on using Microsoft Windows don’t use windows 11 backup your files to separate drives and downgrade your operating system to the windows 10 LTSC IOT enterprise edition there will be some compromises you won’t get but there is work arounds for that with this edition you will get all the security updates to 2032 a good extra 7 yrs of a good windows operating system.
Solution 2: if your windows user and you a use the windows keyboard shortcuts etc…. You can migrate to a Linux distribution but you will have learn Linux but there some distributions that have a windows desktop environment, Linux has an option for you download the operating systems free and test it out in a live environment before you install it entirely but I do recommend back up your files regardless.
Solution 3: if you don’t have the money to the latest hardware for gaming or productivity use then dont put your old pc into ewaste use to for your needs whether is for gaming or productivity use the hardware in the computers is fine to use it just a matter of migrating operating system make few upgrades if needed and a lot that can be found on the used markets like facebook marketplace or eBay even ewaste facilities or local stores.
You may be out of pocket for a few $100 but better that than spending money on a new pc that you don’t have in the first place if you have away to maximise your savings in computing then don’t buy something isn’t needed that your current system can just as good.
Whether your running an Intel or amd 3rd/4th/5th gen or whatever generation you have it’s still useful you got make some changes. If that means you go back to an older generation and still run the same games or other software then so, it doesn’t matter if you got ddr 3/4/5 ram it will still work good enough it’s just a matter changing and adapting it will take time to adapt especially from windows to Linux or windows to macOS.
Even older graphics cards amd or intel or nvidia are becoming popular again they will be obsolete in performance and manufacturing support but there still useable for budget systems and newer systems it up to u what you want to do.
Solution 4: if you want try out a Linux operating system there many flavours of Linux I believe probably a 1000+ do your research on what you want try out download the operating system get a usb drive to put on there there is some flashing tools you can use such Rufus, Belina etcher and ventoy i recommend ventoy as u can put multiple operating systems on and bold from Rufus and etcher will only install the is one per usb drive, ventoy requires windows to make up the drive bus that’s the best tool to use over all get ventoy.
Once you made up usb drive for Linux boot if you have the option to test it then test there some that you will not be able to test in a live environment and you have to fully install it if that’s the case get a separate ssd drive and use that don’t use your current drive because if you wipe with out back ups that’s u lost it all so be careful and extremely weary what your doing.
