Bullshit!

I've been using Windows 7 for years well after end of support and my computer never got hacked!

Oh yes it did

were got hacked

Just a casual couple thousands of tons of perfectly usable computing hardware going to a landfill for literally no reason but greed and lack of accountability.

I feel like Microsoft fully intends to remove the TPM 2.0 requirement in the nearish future

Otherwise it wouldn't be so easy to disable when writing an iso to a USB drive.

Looking at it from a capitalistic point of view, they gain nothing by keeping people from installing their OS on the long term, the lock out was just for the short-term gains they got out of OEMs selling new computers for Windows 11 and such.

Yeah. Gotta find a distro soonish. My 3-4 year old laptop tried to update to W11 and has failed twice. Guess it doesn't meet the hardware reqs. (Thank you RNGesus)

unplugs PC from router

Try hacking me now, bitches.

Is this post from the future? Windows 10 still has support for another year.

bully everyone into upgrading to Windows 11 so you can force data scraping in the guise of AI down their throats. nice game

Windows 10? I'm on Linux Mint 22, which is more than double the number.

Checkmate Microsuck.

DHS is still no-go on Windows 11.

That date may get pushed back.

were got hacked

In the last month, I made a genuine effort to switch to Linux Mint, then Bazzite, as my daily driver. Mint could not run Hitman 3 for unexplained reasons. Bazzite frequently got graphical corruption issues when returning from sleep. Neither could run niche indie games and gave no error codes.

I knew I’d be doing some tweaking to get Linux working how I wanted, but it was missing configuration as well as being unreliable by default. I like the principle of using a non-MS OS, but I need it to work.

I'm not switching to linux

The biggest issue with Linux at the moment isn't the os. It's the community, and because of that, they keep scaring off developers, and ironically many developers only stick around now because they're hired by a large company

I've seen so many developers (including myself), who got smashed by the community so we just gave up

It has definitely gotten better though (vastly) in the past 20 years

Linux can also be susceptible to attacks and breaches too.

I have a crazy idea.

What if y'all get together, and make a guide on an easy way to switch to idk Arch, since Valve is working with it.

You know, so that they don't have to spend a lot of money, and don't have to worry about losing all their data, and hopefully so they don't have to learn everything about Linux so they can enjoy using it right away.

Ha, I almost believed that was realistic rereading it.

They were got hacked?! Where is has the media been has in all this??!1!

Pretty sure w10 still receives updates

They just fired two workers for organizing a protest against supporting Israel. You don't have to make up conspiracy theories to convince people that Microsoft: Bad.

Step 1: damage your customers

Step 2: ?

Step 3: profit

Every OS has a limited life span of support. Linux is no different. Every distro I'm aware of does 5 years or less of support vs Microsoft's 10 years.

I mean, we have no laws about os support.

Imo a very common sense one is to make any software too old to maintain just open source.

Ownership in software should be based on who is willing and capable of maintaining it.

The linux fanboys are everywhere. They are spreading like a plague.

I'm testing out Linux on my laptop, October 13 my desktop moves over too.

Windows 10 is coming up on 10 years old. Things can't live forever.

MS learned that from XP.

Its time to switch to Linux!

Imagine a virus that installs linux on that date.

Anything big happen on January 14th 2020 or January 10th 2023? Legit question

Hold your hats people, the Grammer Nazis are coming for this one. Holy hell.
