Possibly linuxYou have until this time next year to move off Windows 10
AgaveInMyAssInstalled Linux last month so I think I’m safe
At work or at home?
How did you do it at work? I’ve heard of people deploying Linux in a organization but I’m curious of how you did it? What tools are you using?
I’m not in a position where that would be remotely viable but I find it cool anyway
Only 11??
Then I’m fine; I’m running 2000.
Well my organization uses Windows 11 with exchange 2008.
Just kidding but I’ve heard of dumber things.
lol. Yeah actually my next project is that. Moving to 2019…. Ug
You could also go Office365
Annoyed_🦀 What will happen afterward? My cpu isn’t supported.
You just stop getting updates.
And we all know how secure Windows is, so I really don’t recommend that.
No secure updates never lead anywhere good. Will it be doomsday? No probably not. However, the malware authors are going to target Windows 10 as much as they can because it will become an easy target the longer it goes unpatched.
I upgraded from Windows XP to Vista after the 2nd servicepack fixed most of the shit. By that point it was a tolerable OS.
I am currently hoping for a major service pack next year to fix all the stupid shit they did in Windows 11.
You know kind of like when they fucked up windows 8, attempted a quick fix in 8.1 and finally fixed it in win10.
Of course they are at 4 major updates with win11 and it’s still shit so the hope is very thin.
I can understand if you would want to delay on a personal machine. That’s your call. However, I am of the opinion that you should not gamble the business on it. You should not have any EOL devices in use, period. (Unless it is properly airgapped)
metaStaticYou should not have any EOL devices in use, period.
every business still running custom software on XP machines, press X to doubt.
What do you mean? We just migrated that software to a Windows XP VM running on Windows 7! That was just 15 years ago, it’ll be good for another 15 for sure.
You don’t connect those to the outside world
It’s been close to 10 months since I fully switched to Linux. I am running Arch on all of my devices. Server, laptop and desktop. Desktop I have borked few times, but no worries since I dont store any critical data on the drive. Only OS because of this. I know I will bork it in future too, but I like to learn new things and Linux is the best choice for that.
Convinced my gf to also switch to Linux, but we are still trying to find a more stable distro for her. I feel like installing Fedora or MX Linux for her.
PropaGandalfFedora is great
astrskI have been off windows at home for almost 10 years now, I’m really dreading the day when our office computers have to be “upgraded” from 10.
Just don’t wait till last minute. If you need to set a bunch of group policies go for it but you can’t safely stay on Windows 10
Not my farm, not my pig. Gonna be attempting to steer my project requirements over towards the Linux side.
Just keep in mind the business needs come before your own beliefs and opinions. Like it or not chances are your business does not want to leave Windows.

no u runs
Ah yes, pirated software. What could go wrong. It is literally the OS itself.
I also don’t support running windows 10 instead of Linux, but massgrave is very reputable and I’m pretty sure you can hash the ISO to be certain it’s the same as an official windows LTSC release
If you have the official release why are you downloading it from a third party website. At best you are breaking Microsoft TOS which makes your company liable.
