Support for Windows 10 ends on October 14, 2025. Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer. 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! Find someone to help you.

    Y’all don’t want to hear this, but most people aren’t going to switch to Linux. Some might pay someone to install LTSC, but the vast majority of of people are going to cave to Microsoft and buy a new PC.

      Nobody suggested that most people will switch to Linux, and I don’t think anyone expects that either. This is a campaign to help people who are looking for an alternative, or to empower the people that know how to make the switch, to help others to do so.

      You’re probably right that the vast majority of people will buy a new PC, but it’s not about winning a battle - it’s just nice that there are people who are trying to offer an alternative.

      Most people use Windows for work and can’t switch, no matter how much they’d want to.
