On 14 October, #Microsoft will end support for #Win10.
This will turn hundreds of millions of computers that cannot upgrade to #Win11 into security risks and #eWaste.
Yours may be one of them!
But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?

No it won’t, don’t buy into the Microsoft propaganda.
You may be missing the point.
The point is Microsoft wants to (again) force/trick/scam people into buying new hardware. Whether they are lying or not, whether there is a workaround or not, is not the point.
The point is the #Endof10 campaign wants to help people exit this cycle of spending, polluting and tech blackmail Microsoft subjects its users to by offering them an out, helping them switch to Free Software systems. Things like Plasma on Linux are perfectly adequate nowadays for most people—and notice the “most”, please: I know there will always be edge cases that can’t migrate
But, for most people, with a Linux system decked out with a modern desktop and applications? They will find all they need to carry on being productive on their current machines.
Well, they won’t get updates; that’s a security risk. They might not run Windows 11; that’s e-waste unless they switch to Linux (with KDE for preference).
With the number of times a Windows update has fucked up my computer I’m genuinely more concerned about Microsoft messing up my computer than any hacker.
the year of a cheap second hand laptop!
The end of manifest v2 is also nigh, less than a week away. It’s all just coming crashing down this year.
I’m ootl on this and after a brief google search it seems like a big thing to be ootl on. What are some of the consequences of v2 ending?
The consequences of v2 ending is that you should use a non-Chromium-based browser, like Firefox or one of it’s forks.
