I swear I hear way more about Win10 EoL in Linux forums than anywhere else by orders of magnitude.
I have literally heard nothing about this anywhere else. An article is some tech news site every now and then, at best. I haven’t heard a single person I know outside the Internet bring it up once. Haven’t seen it in the news, haven’t seen it in the press, haven’t heard it from friends or sons of friends or parents of friends.
Nobody gives a crap. Nobody is going to give a crap. The updates will stop and nobody will notice. They will eventually buy a new PC, that will come with Win11 and they’ll go “hey, the taskbar is white now” and that will be the end of that.
I crave the moment they flip the switch because man, at least well get some respite from all the giddy anticipation. Although I do fully expect a million posts every time the Steam hardware survey moves by 0.1% or that some company gets hacked through some old, unpatched device. At least it’ll be a change of pace, you know?
I’ve been the same experience but some of the gamers I know aren’t looking forward to the end of win 10. Sadly none of them thinks about a switch to Linux. I guess they will just continue using it until a serious security whole drives them to win 11. I would also bet that I’ve of the last updates Microsoft pushes to win 10 will make it really hard to use it extremely annoying.
This is why I installed Mint.
That’s a lie, actually, I don’t care about that at all, but I did install Mint and I’m very happy with it.
L-- LINUX!!! GO!!! LINUX GO!!!
Windows 10 IOT LTS
The year of Linux desktop?
I’m down to one Windows machine and the death of Windows 10 will be the death of Windows for me. I’m holding out just for the games that just won’t work under Linux and some other proprietary software like Blu-Ray playback. What a run. I’ll be glad to see it go.
You can use MakeMKV to rip your blurays on Linux. Normal blurays are easy to rip, 4K needs an old drive with custom firmware. It’s free while it’s in beta, but you will have to get a new license key every month.
I actually paid for this and use it on windows all the time. I generally don’t rip my Blu-Rays just because I have so many and not enough HDD space for it. The only reliable way I’ve found to play them in real-time has been MakeMKV + MPC-HC.
Chances are you will be on Windows indefinitely then. Getting out of Windows takes a bit of a lifestyle change.
Oh, I have like 4 other computers with Linux. This one is just there until support for 10 ends. Then I’ll let go of those last few things and deal with it when that bridge comes. I’ve been on track to ditching it entirely for a couple years now in preparation for this exact case.
You could also just install Windows 11. In reality there isn’t that much difference.
Haha no thanks
For real this time, guys! Linux is going to displace Windows this year. This is the straw that’s gonna cause a mass migration to the command line, trust me bro
I have to actively tell my grandfather who wanted to switch to Fedora to stop trying to use the command line lol, it’s easier to remember the GUI. CLI isn’t some big looming threat like it was in the 2010’s.
To be perfectly honest, I actually prefer sitting at the fringes of demographics. Keeps my engineering skills sharp.
Doubt it. It’s not like Windows 10 is going to stop working or something.
Yea a lot of Win users will join our forces
All three of them /s
No security updates for you!
Me: I click the annoying popup away. Next day: Windows 10 is no longer supported. We will burn down your PC now. ~ MICRO$H
