  I’m glad people are helping others move to Linux once the EOL support for Windows 10 comes. There’s no reason for good hardware to end up rotting in a landfill. Not only can people use these machines still, it helps the environment since there’s less electronics wasting away in landfills since most people don’t properly recycle electronics.

  So I’m sure this will just cause more people to use Ublock and other ad blocking services if that one fails. Maybe this will cause more people to look into making their own Peertube instances. But who am I kidding, normies usually don’t like hosting communities themselves…

  Honestly I don’t mind 11. It’s miles better than 10 ever was IMO. However with that being said, Linux is better. I have to dual boot Windows 11 on my computer because unfortunately there’s no way I can use my Elgato Capture Device on a Linux machine.

  I’m not even surprised lol. Just another reason why communities like Lemmy and forums are better than any social media platform. Man I hope the Fediverse keeps growing, the more people that see through this bs and jump ship and find us over here in the Fediverse the better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft tells Windows 10 users to just trade in their PC for a newer one, because how hard can it be?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I never liked Windows 10, I had way too many issues with it. However, so many companies rely on old versions of Windows and it takes them years to upgrade to the latest version. The machines I use at work still have Windows 10 installed because the software we rely on isn’t compatible with Windows 11 yet. This whole “trade in your old PC for a new one” is ridiculous. Thankfully there’s many Linux distros that work with older hardware so you don’t need Windows!

  I really wish I was online during those times. Then again I was only 5 years old in 1995, so it’s not like I could do much but play games on Nickelodeon’s website at that point in life. It’s fun looking at web archives of old GeoCities sites!
