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.

Exactly how can Windows break my computer. My wife has a computer still running Windows XP and it still works. She never connects it to the internet, think that's the way.

Will I be able to run my steam and Epic games with this? What about another PC games I own? And my hundreds of mp3 books and thousands of music files. I have them on internal harddrives. If I upgrade my main hard drive to this will I be able to access the files and docs on the two another drives?

@Fredselfish @kde yes, most of them, if not all. I recommend using heroic games launcher, it has a direct portal to get and install your epic and gog games. Don't hesitate to ask me if you need help 🙂

Lol. I was a KDE/Kubuntu user for several years & KDE on OpenSUSE before that. I may even have had KDE running under CDE on an UltraSPARC BITD.

Then the powers that be decided that KDE4 was "better" for some value of better that I could never figure out. Stepped back to CentOS w/GNOME before I found the Trinity fork. Used that until I retired. Most of my typing is on MacOS now.

My W10 box will remain at W10 until the 4-5 things that I need W10 for force me to change.
