As the Windows 10 EOL date is close I was wondering what fellow Linux users thoughts about it are.

Are you helping open minded people making the switch to Linux? If yes, which distro are you using? Are you using resources like endof10.org?

Or are you using the the opportunity to get your hands on some cheap hardware for your homelab? Are you keeping an eye on special websites or just ebay (or your local equivalent)? Are you talking with local companies to get the hardware directly from them?

Or are you just observing and enjoy your peace of mind because you switched already to Linux before?

Whatever it is, we are very interested to hear your stories concering this interesting time.

    I have used Linux for a good while around the early 2000’s. Good memories.

    Fast forward to now. Bought a new laptop with W11. hated it.

    (Just imagine a long list of frustrations about W11, because I’m not going to contribute anything new by saying it) -and finally, I want my data to be mine!

    And so now I get to annoy my wife about how awesome Linux is. My dad is on the train as well. We both annoy our wives with Linux.

      Man I use Windows 11 daily for work and I can’t stand how fucking buggy and clunky everything is. It’s so bad.

      Once in a while I’ll boot my Linux desktop and it’s just… Bliss. Other than that I spend a lot of time on my steam deck, love that too.
