Comment on Your Windows 10 PC will soon be 'junk' - users told to resist Microsoft deadline
valkyre09@lemmy.world 1 year agoI recently learned there are unpatched vulnerabilities in Paint 3D in versions of Windows 10. Christ knows what they’ve neglected to patch on Windows 7.
Have you tried a Linux desktop distribution on that windows 7 box? I can’t imagine you’re gaming on it.

Nope. Got too much it’s used for to spend the days and days it would take me to rebuild it, then fight through the headache of setting up Linux, and finding replacements for everying it does.
This is the barrier Linux acolytes just can’t understand. I have decades of experience, was working in IT before Linux existed. Had my Unix classes in college. And I can’t be bothered, I’ve got other stuff to do. And I know the risks I’m dealing with.
Now let’s ask a regular user. They see no advantage and lots of headache to switch.
