well what has it been doing for the first 6 years
Building momentum for the year of the Linux.
You know, the one we've been reading about for 20 years.
Bro actually said it’s the year of Linux
Considering october is the planned end of life for w10 I wouldn't be surprised
That's why I finally switched
And why I will as well
What did you switch to?
I ended up with mint. The UI is familiar and it was very easy to set up. Most of my needs are simple. Browsing. Gaming. Occasional spreadsheet.
I’m going with mint as well, hope it will be a good experience
I have already started searching for alternative software because I have a bunch that support Windows only currently
That's what drove me to switch my gaming PC to LMDE6. I ran W11 for a couple months after it came out, then switched back to W10 because fuck W11, then when W10 got the EOL announcement I bit the bullet, backed everything up, and wiped Windows from my drive. No ragrets.
It's not over til it's over
