Microsoft wants $30 to let you keep using Windows 10 securely for another year - lemm.ee

Why l would pay 30$ to dumpester fire OS to use it securely for another year when l could install Linux for free with more than 7 year security support?
I switched to Linux myself but can we please stop lying about Linux being a drop-in replacement? There is enough sofware that does not work.

Absolutely. Especially software that has to interface with specific hardware, which often times can have issues working properly with Windows VMs.

Which isn’t a problem for me because I can just dedicate some old hardware for baremetal Win10, but not everyone has that luxury.
