Windows 10 IoT LTSC is supported until 2032. That's a problem for future me...

Hopefully by then I've switched to an employer that allows me to run Xubuntu in the office. Right now my hands are tied.

Narrator: He didn’t switch employers and was forced to run Windows 11.

Not until the company goes public, or I'd forfeit my stock options. But I'm positive that's gonna happen in the next 7 years...

Narrator: The company didn’t public as it was managed by George Bluth Sr.

Switching employers indeed seems to be the easiest solution to escape - I did it for that reason and do not regret it.

I'm holding a substantial stock option, which ties me down for the mid term, but once that is settled I'm out.
