With Windows 10's end-of-life less than a year away, up to 240 million PCs could be expedited to landfill. Here are some ideas to delay that end well past 2025.

    I honestly get so sick of this cult on Lemmy. Your PC is running slow? Install Linux! Some company does something shitty? Try Linux! Sprained your ankle? Have you heard of Linux?

    I have Linux installed, I still end up on Windows most of the time because I don’t have the time and patience to manually set up and configure every single thing I do on my PC, also, I like to play a lot of games and use a lot of programs that all become a choir to run if they even do on Linux.

    I’m with the other guy you’re downvoting, I’m staying on 10.

    Edit: I’m not going to respond to you all individually, a lot of really dumb shit has been said to me, but in particular I want to address the reccuring theme of my “being here” and “leaving”. I’m not here, I just browse All and see a ton of these posts. I don’t really subscribe to anything on Lemmy. Also, I don’t even hate Linux, I just hate your cult like mentality and the way you guys shoehorn it into every discussion, as stated previously, I have Linux installed and have used several different distros over the years.

      Go ahead, also the [email protected] community is this way for complaints.

      W10 has gotten to a point to where it’s alright but not amazing (particularly because SSDs are more standard as OS drives, and can handle the constant read/writes Windows 10 does to it). Feel free to stay but we’ll still be here to support you, when you’re ready to dive in fully, when Microsoft inevitably leaves you behind in support.

      W11 is a spyware riddled mess. People need to be made aware of alternatives so they think it’s not the only option when W10 support is dropped.
