Comment on Your Windows 10 PC will soon be 'junk' - users told to resist Microsoft deadline

Lmao. This article is junk. Yew I’m sure millions of people are going to suddenly dump their PC’s because they don’t get security updates. Most people don’t follow this at all and don’t care.

And no, they’re not going to magically jump to Linux as much as the Lemmy circlejerk loves to believe. If they know enough about security they probably already have looked into Linux and decided against it.

The article is typical clickbait from the Express, that’s bottom of the barrel trash.

Companies are a tad different and this could be a big problem with adhering to security and patches. It’s a big problem with companies doing this engineered obsolescence (stares at Apple) and making products that work trash.

  If there’s one thing I’ve learned about banks during my time as a developer, it’s that they’re on the oldest version of windows they can get to run.

  This, many businesses will consider Linux for various devices.
  
  It’ll likely start as “Oh we can use it to deploy for, this this and this, and avoid putting Windows here and here, to save X dollars” as certain applications in business are not available on Linux, but others will be. It will be a slow transition in the business world. But they will do it.

  When asked to choose between convenience and security, a lot of people will choose convenience. Staying on the computer you already have as long as it seems to work fine is very convenient. I still occasionally see computers running Windows 7 for no reason other than that the owner can’t be bothered to make a change.
