An interesting take on the long-suffering 'switch to Linux' that folks have been trying to make for as long as I can recall.

I've made no secret of my swap, nor of some of the issues I've run across (though I haven't mentioned the occasional GNOME crash I've been trying to isolate down), but I think right now the hardest argument to make is one of inertia - we're trying to make this argument to people who have always used Windows.

Part of it, I think, is just the fact that we don't have the slickness of Mac for an argument to make. Brushed aluminum and all that. It's nice, it's pretty, and Linux doesn't really have that appeal.

Here's the thing: I don't think this is the way to go about it. Let's look at the website for the moment. Five bullet points of 'why' that amount to the same arguments we're making, a list of what amounts to Linux users group installfests. It feels a little like a rehash of what we've already been trying.

What's the argument, then? I legitimately don't know. Some sort of migration assistant perhaps? Hey, run this, it'll find things we can do in Linux and pull stuff over, like the iPhone/android switch apps maybe. Something to go from "We can do everything you already are" to "Here's proof we do all the stuff you already do, and we're gonna migrate your stuff over so you can run virtually uninterrupted. Installing Linux now!"

I don't know. Something I think about from time to time. 10's impending EOL is a big problem, but I think ultimately it's just gonna wind up with end users clicking away the warnings until something goes hilariously sideways.

✍🏻 New blog post! 📰

It's the end of an era. Again.

Windows 10 is going end-of-life on October 14, 2025 and people aren't exactly thrilled to have Windows 11 and Microsoft's "AI" antics and bloat forced on them.

But as Microsoft shuts this door, another one has been kept wide open for years…
