End of 10 - Windows ten is ending. Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer. But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?

Linux comes in a million flavors but most people should start with Mint. That sounds like a pun, but it's also true.

Mint is a nice, safe, up-to-date, simple, Windows-like choice that won't unnecessarily complicate the transition to an entirely different operating system. It has good hardware support and good defaults. Most things will feel very familiar and be very accessible. It is popular enough to find plenty of help on the internet and answers to almost every question you could have. It mostly just works and when it doesn't it's usually not a deal-breaker.

It's not my favourite distro, but you aren't ready for my favourite distro. Honestly I'm barely ready for my favourite distro. It's not elitism, it's just practicality. You'll learn as you go, and you'll eventually want to try other distros, but start with Mint, and keep a Mint system around for when you break everything else. Which you will if you start playing with other distros.

I finally switched to Linux for my daily driver and gaming PC. It was easy.

MS is for a rude awakening when general populace will not update their hardware with record inflation.

I think you would enjoy the adventure of learning the Linux.

I just want to continue using my HP Reverb G2, which will be bricked for absolutely no reason due to the deprecation of the Windows Mixed Reality Portal with the end of Windows 10. :-(

If you absolutely must use windows

Download the Pro ISO from windows.

Use MicroWin to create an iso without tpm requirements and with offline installation

Use MAS and use only the Enterprise edition. You might need to upgrade to Professional first.

Then use WindowsDebloater to tailor it to your liking.

well, i did buy a new computer. But for linux

I ran Microsoft Activation Scripts (MAS) on my PC, making it W10 IoT Enterprise and then ran Sophia script from GitHub to debloat my Windows. It's pretty sweet, works for me so far.

::laughs in kde::

What's MS's plan after this? Everyone I know that uses Windows/M365 hate it more with every passing day and is looking to leave.

I really don't want to be in tech support in 2029 when they kill off old outlook. There will be blood on that day.

Imagine all the people, using their PC's.

If my computer could run faster it would catch up with my refrigerator.

I love Linux, but my older system has an older Nvidia graphics card in it and I lost 15-20 FPS when I switch to Linux.

I DID buy a new computer; MacBook!

Is Windows Enterprise LTSC a good idea?

Yeah yeah, I will get round to it, stop bloody nagging me.

pathetic title. clickbaity. in the end this shit wont help.

If anyone want to use Mint be prepared for bronen one after a while . Try Fedora instead. Maybe it looks harder on the beginning but it will be better instead of formatting Mint after few months to install it again. This was my own opinion about Mint as main Desktop. Now Fedora is my favorite and no format till now.

I’ve had a Mac for over 10 years, still runs like the day I got it. Sure I can’t play games on it, but does absolutely everything else perfect for me.

Im not upgrading my OS, and im not building or buying a new computer.

Im just going to ride it out until it explodes. the tech market is so messed up right now that I'll end up paying more than what I did for my Machine in 2019, and it will be comparatvely, nowhere near as much as a performance jump as when I made the last switch from my 2012 build.

i have an older desktop with 10, it doesn't have tpm, but there is a slot, i could get one and upgrade but also i mostly use linux on it
but i still feel like i'm going to lose something and it stresses me out a bit
