nah, people will go through yet another Stockholm syndrome cycle:
1. I'll never install win11 - I'll use ltsc and iot versions of win10
2. Damn, my apps and games aren't supported
3. Okay I'll update to win11, but to a de-bloated version
4. You know, this win11 thing doesn't look that bad, I'm getting used to it
5. (Windows 12 releases), how did they ruin my favorite win11 like this, I'll never install win12 - I'll use ltsc and iot versions of win11

Just wiped Windows from my gaming PC yesterday and slapped CachyOS on it. Nobody can say I waited until the last minute since I still had 2 days left!

For some people Linux is a gateway OS that leads to things like BSD.

my kids have moved several computers onto Linux in our house already. It’s very liberating. Everything runs much faster and more smoothly without the Windows-bloat.

everyone focuses on Windows support ending, but no one is focused on everyone ending support for Microsoft. #Microsoft

I'm running Windows 10 on a 2018 Intel Mac mini. Not too sure how much I care about just staying on Win10 and leaving it be.

@action_jay

Can you recommend a website or forum for supporting the switch to Linux? I used to be very techie, but I left that field 25 years ago!

I wish I’d have more time to educate myself, but I’ve been a little distracted with <waves around> the state of the world.

my Win10 machine didn't boot properly the first time this morning. I checked the date on my watch and said aloud, "This isn't supposed to happen till Wednesday"

So yeah, tell me how I'd get all my small Windows utils I use for my vintage computing running under Linux, substitutes would be acceptable as well.

I've switched from Win 10 to Linux Mint 22 in August. 🐧

I upgraded almost 30 years ago, switched later to a rolling release and still have it installed and up to date.

why is that guy in a posture where it looks like he's saying "would you have any Grey Poupon?"

and a reminder to everybody: your Windows 10 machine will not explode in flames tomorrow.

"BUT MICROSOFT WON'T SUPPPOOOOOORT IIIIIT!!"

Microsoft has never given you any direct support.

Not once.

Ever.

Have they.

I still run DOS and Windows 7. They work fine.
