Re Microsoft win 10 machines.

Don't believe Microsoft

"because they can’t be upgraded to a supported OS there will not be the normal secondary market for those buying new hardware. This means there’s no boon for charities or other good causes, and instead this is a recycling or landfill choice.

This is criminal.

Recycle to Linux.

to get off micr$oft claws

first backup sensitive data :
use rsync onto an external drive at least, or your prefered ways as long as it's not propriatery

then install LiGNUx, optionally removing original windobz in the process
beginers : choose Linux Mint or UBUNTU ; otherwise DEBIAN or your pick

if M$ unavoidable, use a virtualized unconnected windo$ untill full independance

PS : what people commonly call Linux should be called GNU-Linux , so I call it LiGNUx since I've read it somewhere

@ghyom man... another GNU[/+x\s]Linux dropped.

But seriously, by that logic, do I really need to call one of the exerimental systems i built "openRC+LiMu(sl)x+uutils" just because i swapped out gnu tooling?
This is my biggest reason for why Linux is just Linux, even though it's just the kernel
