You already paid for your OS? Too bad you're gonna pay again.

What do you actually learn about Linux? How do those two differ?

[–] observes_depths@aussie.zone 1 points 2 weeks ago

Just what you need to know to use it. Every OS is different. How to install it, install programs, troubleshoot problems, shortcuts and things to mske life easier.

So if you still want to use Windows 10 after October 2025. You need to pay them $30 to do it. Okay, just update to 11 or use Linux. Where's the problem?

A lot of not-that-old computers don’t meet the system requirements for Windows 11.

And by “not-that-old” I mean serves the limited purpose it was built for 8 years ago and is still working perfectly fine.

Hardware is lasting longer, users are less demanding.
