Gentle reminder to everyone that support for #windows10 ends in about 90 weeks. Many computers can’t upgrade to Win 11 so here are your options:

  1. Continue on Win 10 but with higher security risks.
  2. Buy new and expensive hardware that supports Win11.
  3. Try a beginner friendly #Linux distro like #linuxmint. It only takes about two months to acclimate.

    I’m a certified Microsoft hater, but man, 90 weeks? I get it, we want Gnu-Linux to be more streamlined, but his is certainly not the way. This is tech fearmongering.

      Honestly, this isn’t really fearmongering. It’s just fact in this post and nothing is exaggerated.

        Yeah. Did you know that Andromeda Galaxy will collide with Milky Way in 4.5 billion years? Gotta watch out for that one as well.

          That likely won’t cause any problems because of the sheer volume of empty space between stars.

          But anyways, disingenuous argument much? 2 years in the grand scheme of things is not a long time away.

            You may be pretty heavily discounting the influence of gravity.

            I do not think that risk of collision based on current trajectory is the only thing to consider.

              I’m not an astronomer so I might be wrong, but wouldn’t the gravitational influence of stars from Andromeda in the Milky Way still be negligible, again because of much empty space there is?
