      You can, but you won’t be getting security updates. Best to not put an OS without security updates on the network.

      If you want to delay your switch to Linux, there are scripts to enroll in the ESU, but unfortunately the local account script stopped working on the one I used. Have not tested massgravel’s. Other options are to get Win 10 LTSC, or keep your system disconnected from the Internet.

      An aside: My main desktop is Linux but I am currently trying Winboat to get the last piece of my hardware dependence off (my 20 year old DAC and rocksmith 2014) to work. Then, I can finally nuke Windows off of my secondary laptop because I’m sure as hell not giving it Win 11.

          Maybe as a Christmas gift to myself. My current one is an EIE pro that came with my guitar second hand. The linux “driver” only sort of works.

      You can, and without microsoft pushing malware onto your system with out your consent your chances of getting hacked are probably lessened.
