Hold on to your butts.

Big influx of Linux-compatible office PCs hitting eBay soon.

Very good point!

end of support for windows 10

beginning of support for linux mint

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

i just switched my laptop to mint and my desktop is next :) surprisingly so many "windows only" steam games run perfectly fine in linux

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

Except for some games with Anti-Cheat you can basically play anything that runs on Windows on Linux too

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 minutes ago

and really i wouldn't want to play those ones anyway :)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

So far I'm aware of fortnite, fc, battlefield and destiny. Which I don't want to play anyways

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 hour ago

I just installed Mint instead.

Browsing from a 12 year old laptop running Win7 ... what's the issue?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 hour ago

Malware. All the malware 🪲. That thing better be airgapped.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 18 minutes ago* (last edited 17 minutes ago)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

Just recycle that shit! Here's my...and address where you can recycle it to....

Haven't had mine online for 4 years now and it still chugs along

[–] [email protected] 34 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

The OneDrive plug at the end is *chefs kiss*

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

Is it relevant to the email at all? Nope! But we'll keep them addicted to OneDrive out of fear!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 hours ago

Holy shit they really just said, "throw it away". Troglodytes!

[–] [email protected] 49 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 hours ago

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

It's probably a non monitored email but I just replied, "I already switched to Linux because of this"

[–] [email protected] 34 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 hours ago

A lot of components are scavenged for repairs. You'd be surprised how many POS systems run on XP still.

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 hours ago

Mint runs on a 17-year-old Acer Aspire One I have. Slowly, very slowly, but perfectly.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

My parents are now using Zorin os because it feels like Windows, and they don't even know it's not windows. For the vast majority of people who only use a browser it's a no brainer to switch.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 hours ago

My 73 year old dad has been on Linux for.. eight years I believe? He loves it.

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 hours ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Guess my parents will continue and will use unsupported OS in the future. Maybe i install Linux to my mother, as a beta tester for the family when i go visit them in the summer.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

They use it for basic everyday stuff like web browsing? I installed Linux on my mom's aging laptop that she just used to sell stuff on eBay, browse, listen to music, back up photos, etc. Linux glides with ease on the machine when Windows slogged and she was able to understand the OS fine. Users today don't really have to touch the command line at all unless they are doing something advanced. The GUI is just as easy to understand as Windows.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

I don't know. They maybe use only their phones now. I'm not sure. I better check before start anything. My father's computer needs AutoCAD and office so probably gonna stay in Windows 10.
