KDE creates a safe haven for Windows 10 exiles.

In the context of the @Endof10 campaign, we have created a new "for" page, this time "for Windows 10 exiles":

https://kde.org/for/w10-exiles/

In it we explain how Linux with Plasma can help users escape the deranged cycle of having to buy a new computer every time Microsoft force-upgrades their operating system.

Do you have any use cases in particular that have been pain points? I'm a 20+ year user who helps folks make the switch as a hobby, I may have some advice for you.

@ArsonButCute @lightnsfw can't speak for him but most of the people I've helped their major pain points were literally that they never understood what they were doing, just which icons to click, to them IE WAS the internet and firefox was a "different" thing so they'd get frustrated no matter how many times they were told to click on firefox for the internet they'd claim the internet was missing.

Literally installing a windows icon pack/skin fixes 99% of the issues for many people.
