Don't be elitist. You were a noob once, and someone helped you along the way.
The more people who leave corporate platforms, the better. Punch up, not down.

While yβall were beating your chests over PC operating systems, I was simply browsing lemmy on my phone.
I find it amussing that tech bros think the average home user will care.... They'll keep using Win 10 like nothing has changed. I knew people still happily using XP in 2014...
Windows is the virus.
For those who aren't already aware, you can continue to get Windows 10 security updates after EOS, as well as updates for legacy windows systems, with 0patch. That's what I plan on doing. https://0patch.com/
I thought they specifically planned to end the security updates to force people to use win11
Microsoft is going to stop providing updates, but 0patch is specifically providing security patches after EOS so that people don't have to upgrade to Windows 11.
Microsoft does that too though. And afaik they have offered extended support for a long time for loads of windows versions (especially for the server versions)

You can also overcome your Stockholm syndrome and ditch the trash for good.
Unfortunately there are a few things that keep me from switching to Linux.
- The drivers for my mouse don't work properly
- JACK is not a substitute for Voicemeeter
- JACK's latency makes it less suitable for recording guitar
- I use FL Studio
- I need access to a Windows testing environment
- Having to suddenly troubleshoot in Linux completely breaks my flow
Wait, was the scabbard always curved in this image?
I hope the point is that it is as idiotic as the original. WTF did the original guy study the blade for, if not to protect other people from the barbarians ? Is he really so bad at the blade he can only protect himself ? Then I guess maybe he really did need to train all that time after all π
As a 20 year Linux user I cringed at this.
Exactly the same, what kind of lame bs is this, the best thing about the Linux community is that people help each other, not for money or fake internet points, but because they are good people.
That's the purpose
As a 2 week arch Linux user I related to this meme. In fact I might incorporate this into my personality.

I think widows is the virus
I know this is a joke but I genuinely get annoyed by people who seriously believe this.

Yes, everyone can have Audacity (for all your audio basics needs!) Audacity & Gimp work on Windows & MacOS, for those of you who continue to pay homage to corporate overlords for your computational playground (but want to use free (& open source) tools).
This isn't the original image and that sword doesn't really look like it goes with that scabbard. Did someone recreate/enhance the image with AI?

As a linux user myself, this is kind of cringe to be honest.

Support for mine ended the day I unplugged it from the net 4 years ago
Yeah? No looking it up, give me a bash script for a ping scan of a subnet with a 24 bit mask.

Why is everyone so sure that W10 support ending will have its users stampede towards Linux? I think most users don't care about support and will happily run an outdated OS. They'll probably switch to Apple if they are concerned with that. Am I being too pessimistic?
I think most users donβt care about support and will happily run an outdated OS.
This is precisely what happened every time a previous edition of Windows met end of support, with most users only moving to the current version by way of buying a new name-brand PC because their old one either finally broke or, more likely, because it became so loaded down with malware that it was subsequently unusable.
The majority of home users are non-nerds who only barely tolerate their computer at the best of times, click off error messages without reading them, and are quite likely to ignore any pleas from Microsoft to upgrade or buy a new computer as long as the prompts are dismissable and don't go as far as fully locking them out of using their machine.
These users will overwhelmingly have a "go to the store and buy it" mentality; they will not migrate to Linux. Rather, they will march to Best Buy or go to Amazon and buy a new PC with Windows 11 already on it, or maybe a small subset of them will work themselves up to being angry enough to switch to a Mac.
We will get thousands more new users at least and I saw a poster in my local university about a install linux on your pc event.
