“Trade it in or recycle it” basically means “your best bet to solve this problem is to pass it on to someone else, who will pass it on to someone else, and so on until it arrives at landfill”.

I love how in a world where we banned straws we are somehow OK with Microsoft pushing people to recycle their old but otherwise adequate system for what, to the vast majority of people, are some paper thin security advantages.

Anybody who asks me about Windows 10’s EOL date will be introduced to the option of using Linux before i’ll help them select a replacement system. Especially if they literally only use a browser there really is no reason to go through hoops or spend money to stick with Windows.

This is incredibly infuriating and I’d honestly consider it ecoterrorism and abusive.

Glad those tariffs hit just in time

I want to ditch windows so bad, but I can’t run any autodesk products on Linux atm… Revit, Autocad… Sad noises

Use Linux. And dont listen to zealts who say its not a viable option. Its actually way ahead than Windows or Macos

Im so glad I fully switched to Linux a year ago. Never going back to Windows.

They just try to force people to buy another PC and so many “computer ignorant” people will…poor old ladies who click on the ads…

I installed graphyOS on mine

Still on a t430 lmao

Throw it away.

Gently

In my direction

Hold on to your butts.

Big influx of Linux-compatible office PCs hitting eBay soon.

I just lost out on the sale of two Lenovo P51 thinkpads because the CPU has been literally arbitrarily cut off. 32gb ddr4 2400mhz, quad core xeon, Nvidia GPU w/ 4gb gddr5, 512gb SSD. Because Microsoft decided to leave it off of a spreadsheet. Fuck this company….

end of support for windows 10
