New computer with Windows pre-installed? Want to install #Linux 🐧 instead?

You pay for #Windows, even if you don’t use it. That’s unfair and non-transparent.

#Refund4Freedom from @fsfe & @ItaLinuxSociety defends your right to get refunds for unused pre-installed software! 😎

The campaign starts in #Italy 🇮🇹 but will later be extended.

FSFE & ILS support your right to choose your operating system. They also support #EndOf10 to prevent e-waste!

#EndOf10 "The Open Source alternative to forced obsolescence"

https://opensource.org/blog/end-of-10-the-open-source-alternative-to-forced-obsolescence

> Open Source isn’t just about code. It’s about community, sustainability, and autonomy. The “End of 10” campaign is a chance to show the world how powerful those values can be.

> We invite everyone—users, developers, educators, and advocates—to be part of this movement. Because the end of Windows 10 isn’t the end of the road. It’s a new beginning.

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?
