The end of Windows 10 is approaching, so it's time to consider Linux and LibreOffice

  LOL no. There are many good reasons choose Linux on the desktop/laptop, but the so-called Win10 apocalypse isn’t in the top 10.

    Whilst that’s true, it’s a good opportunity to push Linux as a potential alternative in a few different ways - reduction of e-waste, free and private oriented alternative, simple (in some situations/distro) for certain basic users, or even someone who wants to get a little more technical. It’s good to promote the idea that there is more to computers than a monolithic monopoly called Microsoft.

    Two of my friends switched recently precisely because Win 10 was going end of life. The ‘I have to change the OS anyway’ was the final motivator.

  The big thing to consider is what software do you really NEED, what can change, and what can you do without. Then the change is easier.

  Then there’s the learning curve of new software. Wheee

    For a lot of people that say of thinking doesn’t work, they explicitly don’t want to/wont go without, people enjoy luxury and convenience and aren’t going to skate by on only things they strictly need
