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/

โโฆyou have the audacity to come to me for help?
Sure! Linux isnโt nearly as difficult to use as people think. Thereโs a learning curve since Linux does things differently than Windows, but youโd face that if you switched to Mac, too. Hereโs a USB disk with [insert user-friendly distro here] loaded on it. If you can make your computer boot with it you have all the skills necessary to install Linux. You can test-drive it from the USB and if itโs just too different from what youโre used to, it wonโt have made any changes. Have fun!โ

Do not nixos-install me without reason
Do not uwsm start select me without valor
True story... Loaded Linux on my machine to learn. Dual boot wouldn't recognize Windows despite many efforts. Then Linux cinnamon crashed and i had to nuke the whole thing. Still won't deter me.
I think widows is the virus
"Linux will never supplant windows" naysayers in shambles.
I look like that and say that
I'll just ask chatgpt instead of being told LMGTFY and RTFM
why spend time googling dozens of half-related forum issues when chatgpt can average all those half-related issues in one plausible-looking reply. just think of the time saved.

Well of course, you're the eXpErT!
Can you draw 7 red lines strictly perpendicular some with blue ink and some with green ink, or not?
Nope!
Let's not rush into any hasty answers. The task has been set and needs to be carried out.
I don't have green ink, will red rink suffice?
How's this?
Mhm....
why are some lines not red? The task was 7 red lines strictly perpendicular in the form of kittens. Some with blue ink some with green ink.

awwwwww :/
My bad, if I knew this skit I would have committed to the bit.
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).
Wait, was the scabbard always curved in this image?
