Support for Windows 10 ends on October 14, 2025. Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer. But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?

At the start of the first Covid19 lockdown in the UK, I gave my granddaughter a second hand laptop on request.
It was actually a cast off from a customer, so already at least three years old. I put Kubuntu on it (OK not Gnome but the message remains the same).
It turns out it is still in use and I remotely advanced it from Ubuntu 20.04 through 22.04 to 24.04. Over wifi at both ends, ssh and a SOCKS proxy.
In my attic I have an elderly Dell server with a supported Debian based distro on it (Proxmox). It used to run VMware. I'm an ex-VMware fanboi with 25+ years experience.
MS can burn (bugger: I run a MS Silver Partner). Oh well, MS can still burn and so can VMware (Broadcom).
