Ending Support For Windows 10 Could Send 240 Million Computers To The Landfill: A Stack Of That Many Laptops Would End Up 600 Km Higher Than The Moon - Gadget Tendency

With support ending for Windows 10, the most popular desktop operating system in the world currently, possibly 240 million pcs may be sent to the landfill. This is mostly due to Windows 11’s exorbitant requirements. This will most likely result in many pcs being immediately outdated, and prone to viruses. GNU/Linux may be these computers’ only secure hope, what do you think?

Exactly. I tried using Linux and I just don’t understand how to use it, and I consider myself fairly tech savvy. It would bring my productivity to a grinding halt if I had to switch to Linux.

I'm like this with windows these days tbh

I get to the desktop and I'm like how the fuck do I even use this thing

Exactly. I've not used many Linux flavors that are as confusing as what they have done to windows since v7

Did you install gentoo or something? Zorin or Mint is just install and use it (just like Windows)
