Before you recycle your Windows 10 PC (or just switch to Linux and avoid wasting resources), keep in mind while Windows 10 22H2 is ending in 7 months, 21H2 LTSC Enterprise is still good for 1 year 10 months:

https://endoflife.date/windows

To download the 21H2 LTSC, go here:

https://archive.org/details/en-us_windows_10_enterprise_ltsc_2021_x64_202301

Then generate a free license key using the Ohook or KMS38 methods via PowerShell as explained here:

https://massgrave.dev/

Disclaimer: I haven't tried this myself so there may be some bugs/issues along the way. For my next laptop, I'm thinking about switching to Linux and specifically Ubuntu or Fedora, so this won't really impact me

Ubuntu user here. I get glitches from time to time, and the newest update caused a more than small issue with booting. However, compared to the litany of glitches, bloatware, and user-anti-interface of Windows, I'll sing the praises of Ubuntu all day long. Even the few games I play, like Cyber Punk, run perfectly.

I mean, what do you expect them to say?

"Time to install Linux, here's how you chose a kernel:"

[–] Trainguyrom@reddthat.com 1 points 14 hours ago

It would be funny if they struck a deal with Canonical to start offering an upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04 using some of the same dark patterns they use with Windows 11

Ugh. I'm going to have to seriously look at Linux, aren't I?

Absolutely no idea where to start with that, nor whether any of the software I need for work (or indeed anything else) is compatible, not how I'm going to find the time to learn all this.

Bleugh 😔

EDIT - Just want to say thanks to everyone for all the helpful tips and advice below. Will make it my mission this summer to at least understand Linux better and work out if it's for me. Cheers, you lovely people 👍

Linux Mint is one of the most recommended for newbies.
You can use a live CD/USB to try it out without installing.

Installed mint on an older computer I had so my oldest daughter could have a pc for school. She has had zero problems using it.

Windows 11 is the most secure Windows ever built

They've been saying that about every single one since that notoriously insecure one. ME, I think?

Also, I'm pretty sure that Tiny11 or the like is more secure if you consider data privacy important, since a lot of the privacy issues of Windows 11 are coming from the unnecessary parts of Windows itself..

I took the last message I got from them as an invitation to ditch Windows for Linux. Now I wish I did that earlier!

Windows 11 is the most secure Windows ever built, with comprehensive end-to-end security

Does "end-to-end security" actually mean anything in this context, or is it just intended to evoke "end-to-end encryption"?

[–] joshcodes@programming.dev 42 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That entire sentence is unintelligible marketing drivel.
