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.

@turtle yeahhh Alpha Theta is crafty like that.

they also seem to be positioning themselves to make old CDJ hardware obsolete soon. They've started pushing a new USB format called "Library Plus" that you need to use for new devices.

Once they stop supporting the original "Library (not plus)" format, old devices will be bricked permanently.

They haven't said that they're gonna do this, but it's pretty obvious.

It's always frustrating when supported for perfectly working old hardware is dropped. According to the Mixxx wiki, many hardware controllers are supported, including some Pioneer CDJ models: 350 / 850 / 2000. Many of them are community supported, indicating that more could potentially be added.
