Ending support for Windows 10 could send 240 million computers to the landfill. Why not install Linux on them? (gadgettendency.com)

With support ending for Windows 10, the most popular desktop operating system in the world currently, possibly 240 million pcs may be sent to the landfill. This is mostly due to Windows 11’s exorbitant requirements. This will most likely result in many pcs being immediately outdated, and prone to viruses. GNU/Linux may be...

It’s an and statement you breedable little shit you can’t just ignore one of the conditions in the statement.

If someone can’t drive a vehicle and doesn’t want to learn he will not, in fact, be allowed to drive.

This. A lot of our lab’s instruments are proprietary garbage. I wish the people buy these extremely expensive instruments would actually research if there’s open source alternatives or help pressure the government’s into forcing the code to be open. A lot of (public) spending for research is due to this sort of bs “instruments which only works with its own proprietary software” btw. The other good portion is eaten up by scumbags like Elsevier and other publishers.

As long as that machine is disconnected from the internet it’s OK but as soon as you connect it you are cooked.

Depends honestly but for most people it will work fine if you use something like Pop OS, Nobara, or other distros that set it up for you (or you know how to set it up yourself but that’s unlikely to be the case)

Get them to flash it with Ventoy, then they can copy and paste the ISO. Bit easier for dummies and let’s them put more .iso files in it without the “but why can’t I do more than one”.

The BIOS is a lot scarier to noobs. You have to press a button very fast, go into a scary menu that looks different than anything else and full of weird options, to disable something that has secure in its name, and then something about boots to turn on the PC from the USB? But my computer has no boots!

Now this was made easier by windows which can be told to reboot directly on the BIOS or media drive, but it is still more daunting to newbies than to use a program to flash a USB in my experience.

Of course, that’s why we need to be there for tech illiterate people to teach them how to read, without assuming they’re mentally challenged because they’re not stupid they just lack the willingness to try something that looks scary the first time you do it (like most things in life). If I got my mother, who can barely figure out how to open the file manager on windows, to install Linux Mint and some software in it over a phone call, it’s possible with anyone.

Lucky. I had to do it in a few laptops or it wouldn’t even have allowed me to boot from USB

May I recommend Proton Mail? I used gmail for years then decided to finally switch and it was easier than I thought, tho tbf I also don’t have a lot of people who need to email me, it was mostly services where it’s easier to tell them to switch over to the other mail.

EDIT: I read your later comment nvm

I mean, usually when I need something immediately I just walk 5 minutes to the physical store and buy it.

I don’t even remember a time where I needed to get something I needed immediately from Amazon. In fact, if I am getting anything from amazon it’s probably because it wasn’t possible to find it elsewhere and that’s usually not something so important it needs same/next-day delivery.

I mean, tldr exists but not for troubleshooting.

I agree with the point you make, we definitely need a more unified and better place for this.

people who unironically post this shit are usually not ugly, just lack self esteem and think self-deprecating humour is funny (usually isn’t) and should listen to the advice and probably also learn that being rejected a lot is normal and it don’t mean you’re ugly to everyone unless you’re an actual asshole to everyone.

Idk, I like NixOS but it’s not problem-free and the worst part about it is that for some problems you won’t have much luck finding help in many places and on top of that the documentation isn’t the greatest. That said I have found less very serious issues, but also because I haven’t messed with it as much as Arch.

On the website you click on the name like you wanted to rename it and then add an /foldername

Why they don’t just lut a create new folder button I don’t understand.

Probably pretty well given some companies and people will be some silly little tech sluts for the convenience of not looking up better alternatives for 10 minutes, and likely paying a bit more upfront.

That said I hope there’s gonna be some printer piracy

good luck with it. IMO we need better legislation.
