You have until this time next year to move off Windows 10

Installed Linux last month so I think I'm safe

At work or at home?
- Both

Only 11??

Then I’m fine; I’m running 2000.

Well my organization uses Windows 11 with exchange 2008.

Just kidding but I've heard of dumber things.
- I once had a client who didn't want to buy new Office licenses for their brand-new Server 2008 terminal server, so had us install an old copy of Office 97 they had lying around. Surprisingly, it worked.
- lol. Yeah actually my next project is that. Moving to 2019…. Ug

I upgraded from Windows XP to Vista after the 2nd servicepack fixed most of the shit. By that point it was a tolerable OS.

I am currently hoping for a major service pack next year to fix all the stupid shit they did in Windows 11.

You know kind of like when they fucked up windows 8, attempted a quick fix in 8.1 and finally fixed it in win10.

Of course they are at 4 major updates with win11 and it's still shit so the hope is very thin.

I can understand if you would want to delay on a personal machine. That's your call. However, I am of the opinion that you should not gamble the business on it. You should not have any EOL devices in use, period. (Unless it is properly airgapped)

  every business still running custom software on XP machines, press X to doubt.

Imagine not having windows 10 support until 2027

Windows 10 21H2 LTSC recieves support until 2027 December.

Version	Servicing option	Availability date	Latest revision date	Latest build	Mainstream support end date	Extended support end date
2021 (21H2)	Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC)	2021-11-16	2024-10-08	19044.5011	2027-01-12	2032-01-13 (IoT Enterprise only)

Wimdows 11 broke my laptop's built in screen support, so it's long overdue for a Linux upgrade. I just can't decide which-- I like what Steam did with Arch, but I tried Manjaro and it was kind of ok until I borked it messing around as one does. Once I can decide a distro though, fuck Windows.

Manjaro is notorious for getting borked. If you feel you're able, pure Arch is way better.If you want arch based OS, but with less hassle, I hear endevourOS is good. As for Debian flavour, Linux Mint is a good choice for begginers, many people also stand behind PopOS. Ubuntu used to be the top choice, but people should probably avoid it now, as Cannonical makes some controversial choices.
Good luck!
I'm digging zorin.

I have been off windows at home for almost 10 years now, I’m really dreading the day when our office computers have to be “upgraded” from 10.

Just don't wait till last minute. If you need to set a bunch of group policies go for it but you can't safely stay on Windows 10
- Not my farm, not my pig. Gonna be attempting to steer my project requirements over towards the Linux side.

no u runs

Is IoT LTSC a viable replacement for a Pro install in a home enviroment? I do a lot of remote desktop work to access the machine. It's either that or Linux with Proton to emulate Windows must haves at home.
Ah yes, pirated software. What could go wrong. It is literally the OS itself.
- I also don't support running windows 10 instead of Linux, but massgrave is very reputable and I'm pretty sure you can hash the ISO to be certain it's the same as an official windows LTSC release

What will happen afterward? My cpu isn't supported.

You don't get security updates.

You can get something new, install Linux, or you can also just choose to not care.
- I recommend against that last one heavily
- I’m using Linux now for a long time as my daily driver and for all the important stuff.
  
  Games though I still end up using windows 10. My cpu doesnt support 11 and there’s all that crap of copilot recall and whatnot that I’m not interested at all to have on my pc.
  
  Hopefully playing the occasional game won’t be a massive issue because I’ll have to go windows 10 with no security updates then.
Hello future Linux user
You just stop getting updates.

And we all know how secure Windows is, so I really don't recommend that.
No secure updates never lead anywhere good. Will it be doomsday? No probably not. However, the malware authors are going to target Windows 10 as much as they can because it will become an easy target the longer it goes unpatched.
If you really want to stick with Windows there are methods to bypass the CPU/TPM requirements of Windows 11.

I'm in the process of porting some scripts to linux, don't pressure me goddamit.

It's been close to 10 months since I fully switched to Linux. I am running Arch on all of my devices. Server, laptop and desktop. Desktop I have borked few times, but no worries since I dont store any critical data on the drive. Only OS because of this. I know I will bork it in future too, but I like to learn new things and Linux is the best choice for that.

Convinced my gf to also switch to Linux, but we are still trying to find a more stable distro for her. I feel like installing Fedora or MX Linux for her.

Fedora is great

Free patches are over?

My current job is just now kicking on RTO for no good reason, so I've found the best upgrade path of all:

Leaving.
