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 This will most likely result in many pcs being immediately outdated, and prone to viruses.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...

SoGrumpy,

I understand lots of the words in this post, but there are many that tell me I wouldn’t get Linux up and running on any of my laptops or PC.

SoGrumpy,

You call everything -li. Best examples: Schißhaseli or Einkaufswägeli.

Just don’t overtake at +30 kph but more at 10 kph

The law does account for this: If all lanes are well populated and you find your lane is actually moving faster than the lane to your left, you may pass - not overtake - on the right, as long as you are not more than 20 kph faster than the left lane.

The difference is in passing and overtaking: Passing is merely going faster than the other lane, but staying in your lane afterwards. Overtaking, or to give it its correct name of undertaking, is passing and then changing into the same lane as the passed vehicle.

trucks are overtaking with 101km/h

As trucks are governed to a Vmax of 90 kph, and some even to 85 kph, I would suggest you get your speedometer checked, because it sounds like the advancement, required by law, is too high. It shouldn’t show more than 7% more than your actual speed. Truck speedos are more rigorously controlled and show an average of 2 kph too much at 80 kph, so trucks overtaking at 101 kph is not normally possible - of course, speedo manipulation does occur, but it isn’t so rampant that they all overtake at 101 kph.

SoGrumpy,

But you miss the point: BAB doesn’t mean BundesAutoBahn, it means Baustelle Am Baustelle.

The roadworks all over nowadays is due to years of neglect in the 80s and 90s.
