The End (of Windows 10) is nigh!

On 14 October, #Microsoft will end support for #Win10.

This will turn hundreds of millions of computers that cannot upgrade to #Win11 into security risks and #eWaste.

Yours may be one of them!

But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?

@Endof10 Best Time to Switch to #Linux

@MichaelimOdenwald There is an entire ecosystem on my Win10 machines. The ecosystem has a problem with migrating.

I totally reject where M$ is going. Just like with Adobe they control access to your creations with their subscription models and worse with sneaking in exploitation clauses to your intellectual property.

@silkester Well, did‘nt say it‘s easy. But worth it (that’s my very personal experience)

@MichaelimOdenwald
I almost bought a second laptop with mint to finally wean me off. Almost.
The last time I attempted this the thing collected dust...

I have libreoffice and the user interface absolutely tops the current MS office I had to use at a friends place recently. But unlike in old days I haven't done any serial lettering or other more challenging tasks like editorial work for a magazine with texts from 20 different sources with 20 different formats with pressing deadlines.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I feel this guy:

I started with Corel 3.0 back in the 90s.
I dabbled in Illustrator 8.

Inkscape frustrates me.
Nor did I become friendly with Gimp.

So your worth it is subjective.

@silkester @MichaelimOdenwald lol
Excuses, just put your computer in the bin, buy new one, pay windows and all other subscriptions 😂😂😂😂😂

@oatrapado

I would never. I have a 20 year old Adobe Photoshop and do not feel the need to upgrade,because I no longer have to deal with other companies and fight with file compatibility. Gimp still doesn't have the convenience I have with that 20 year old Photoshop.

I bought a win 10 laptop as recent as possible with sufficient speed just now. It'll last me likely a decade or more. And the more people move on, the safer will my win10 be. Because nobody bothers to hack a minority of old tech.
