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 This will most likely result in many pcs being immediately outdated, and prone to viruses.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

sevan,

My desktop and laptop are both eligible to upgrade, but I keep declining and will likely switch to linux when win10 support ends.

sevan,

I’ve thought about it, but right now everything works exactly the way I need it and the only complaint I have is the occasional pop-ups from MS trying to get me to upgrade to win11 or switch my browser. My main uses for my devices are games and I just started back to school, so MS Office is nice to have. So, it’s hard to justify putting in the effort to change things now, especially when I know how to use MS products very well, particularly modding games.

sevan,

I also use it for YouTube videos of things that I don’t want Google making recommendations on. For example, if trying to fix something and need to watch a video, I don’t want to have home improvement videos in my feed for the next 6 months.

sevan,

I love Excel! The best part of my job is where I get to use Excel. The worst parts are where I have to use power point or interact with other people. Sadly, most of time is spent on PPT and interacting these days. :(

sevan,

True, watching other people use Excel is painful. I used to have a coworker that was so good at Excel that she didn’t use a mouse at all and was way quicker than anyone else. She made me feel guilty whenever I was the one being watched because I knew she must be frustrated watching me do things with shortcuts and the mouse.

sevan,

My wife just made a favorite of mine: gnocchi soup with spicy turkey sausage.

sevan,

So does anyone know if there is a bot I can load on my phone and PC to auto solve these and save me the annoyance?
