Working class people at large don't know about these alternatives,

You mean only the elite know about Linux? Preposterous!

*proceeds to clean monocle

Jokes aside, it might be a good time to teach and learn. Or pay, or have less security moving forward.

It was a staple of the "working class" to be resourceful, to know to repair stuff. It's on Microsoft best interest that you change the computer, that you pay another OEM license, that they can drop support for older hardware... And this will happen again with windows 12.
