End of 10 โ€” Windows 10 is reaching the end of its support. Time to make the switch to Linux. (endof10.org)

Support for Windows 10 ends on October 14, 2025. Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer. But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?

If you bought your computer after 2010, there's most likely no reason to throw it out. By just installing an up-to-date Linux operating system you can keep using it for years to come.

Installing an operating system may sound difficult, but you don't have to do it alone. With any luck, there are people in your area ready to help!

5 Reasons to upgrade your old computer to Linux:

  1. No New Hardware, No Licensing Costs
  2. Enhanced Privacy
  3. Good For The Planet
  4. Community & Professional Support
  5. Better User Control

Reasons to switch:

  1. It's waaaaay cheaper
    • A new laptop costs a lot of money. Repair cafes will often help you for free. Software updates are also free, forever. You can of course show your support for both with donations!
  2. No ads, no spying
    • Windows comes with lots of ads and spyware nowadays, slowing down your computer and increasing your energy bill.
  3. Good for the planet
    • Production of a computer accounts for 75+% of carbon emissions over its lifecycle. Keeping a functioning device longer is a hugely effective way to reduce emissions.
  4. Community support
    • If you have any issues with your computer, the local repair cafe and independent computer shop are there for you. You can find community support in online forums, too.
  5. User control
    • You are in control of the software, not companies. Use your computer how you want, for as long as you want.

Hexbear-related reasons to switch:

  1. Still can use hexbear
    • Hexbear requires a web browser (firefox) to use.
  2. Don't have to pay for it.
    • You'll receive updates and features for your operating system free of any personal charge to you till the end of time. You can donate directly to volunteers and workers to make your computer better (better yet non computer related things)
  3. using Windows for Windows's sake or Apple for Apple's sake is liberalism and supports USA/piSSrael
    • TBH they copied from us (KDE, GNOME) anyway. Their innovation is being a monopoly and advertising to you.
  4. Makes you smarter (it's like reading theory but with computers)
    • Using Linux makes you big brain because you'll learn you can do a lot of things for free that you'd have to waste your soul on. doggirl-smart
