Does anybody know the best way to transfer all my files to Linux? I dabbled in it a bit, but I was a little worried I'd have to reinstall everything, considering I had to make a (relatively small) partition using my unused d drive space
Is there a way to transfer ~2TB worth of steam games, outside of uninstalling then reinstalling them?
Hold on to your butts.
Big influx of Linux-compatible office PCs hitting eBay soon.
That and/or a big influx of vulnerable unpatched Windows machines...
This seems much more likely lol
Very good point!
Sweet, bunch of cheap laptops about to flood the market
I just lost out on the sale of two Lenovo P51 thinkpads because the CPU has been literally arbitrarily cut off. 32gb ddr4 2400mhz, quad core xeon, Nvidia GPU w/ 4gb gddr5, 512gb SSD. Because Microsoft decided to leave it off of a spreadsheet. Fuck this company….
What a coincidence, the end of my support for windows is also approaching.
jk I srubbed that shit from my personal devices years ago after graduating.
end of support for windows 10
beginning of support for linux mint
Yeah, my old desktop computer is getting turned into my first dedicated Linux machine and my current desktop isn't getting updated to 11 until October 13th.
i just switched my laptop to mint and my desktop is next :) surprisingly so many "windows only" steam games run perfectly fine in linux
Except for some games with Anti-Cheat you can basically play anything that runs on Windows on Linux too
and really i wouldn't want to play those ones anyway :)
So far I'm aware of fortnite, fc, battlefield and destiny. Which I don't want to play anyways
I just installed Mint instead.
Browsing from a 12 year old laptop running Win7 ... what's the issue?
Malware. All the malware 🪲. That thing better be airgapped.
Even JavaScript can infect you.
Assuming your family does online banking and brokerage you then become a jumping off point for malware.
Microsoft finally embracing the Apple model of upgrading
The OneDrive plug at the end is *chefs kiss*
Is it relevant to the email at all? Nope! But we'll keep them addicted to OneDrive out of fear!
Just recycle that shit! Here's my...and address where you can recycle it to....
That moment when Microsoft tells people to throw away perfectly good working computers because they're running Windows 10. When Windows 10 was just coming out or had just come out, Microsoft promised that Windows 10 would be the last OS of theirs, and there would only be updates. Also Microsoft is constantly sending messages to people running Windows 10 urging them to update.
I really wish there was something regulatory that could be done about this. There are millions of perfectly good fully working computers that are going to go in the fucking trash because of this. I understand the desire for a TPM on every machine. It makes sense in a way. But the pure environmental impact is just indefensible. All of those computers had a significant environmental footprint to build them and ship them and again to dispose of them plus building and shipping their replacements.
If Microsoft had such a hard-on for TPM, they should have worked with computer manufacturers to make some sort of retrofit system or way of easily determining if a TPM can be added to an existing computer
Holy shit they really just said, "throw it away". Troglodytes!
It's probably a non monitored email but I just replied, "I already switched to Linux because of this"
Trade it in or recycle it with local organizations
And what are those organizations expected to install on systems that can't support Windows 11, Microsoft? What are they expected to install exactly?
A lot of components are scavenged for repairs. You'd be surprised how many POS systems run on XP still.
Linux
This is the biggest garbage a tech company did to almost 256 million PCs in use and fully working. I installed Linux Mint on all three PCs I own. Free and works far better than I thought.
Mint runs on a 17-year-old Acer Aspire One I have. Slowly, very slowly, but perfectly.
Haven't had mine online for 4 years now and it still chugs along
Yeah I lost it when I saw this too. But, because I waited so long to switch to Linux, it’s to the point where I feel it has so much of what was lacking the last time I used it. Easily over ten years ago. Thank you to everyone who slogged through it to get here.
It took about a year of dual booting for me to finally feel confident using it, but now I'd never go back. It's definitely not an overnight or weekend thing, learning the "Linux way", but it's worth it. It's so much easier than it was even just 5 years ago, let alone 15
It depends on what you use your computer for, really. My partner isn't very tech savvy and doesn't use their computer for anything more than watching youtube and writing emails, so porting them directly to Ubuntu was super easy.
