Bad news for those planning to activate Windows 11 with a Windows 7 or 8/8.1 key: users noticed that the latest Windows 11 preview builds no longer allow activation with old license keys.

          Instead of “Windows Subsystem for Linux” it’s “Windows Software on Linux.” We should rename WINE for lulz.

      Yes it can; that was added to Linux 5.18.

        I figured tbh. I was being snarky and reminding that Linux is the real alternative to Win 11, not Win 10
