Microsoft finally embracing the Apple model of upgrading
i like how you made up a quote from the post.
It's probably a non monitored email but I just replied, "I already switched to Linux because of this"
Holy shit they really just said, "throw it away". Troglodytes!
The OneDrive plug at the end is *chefs kiss*
Is it relevant to the email at all? Nope! But we'll keep them addicted to OneDrive out of fear!
Yeah I lost it when I saw this too. But, because I waited so long to switch to Linux, it’s to the point where I feel it has so much of what was lacking the last time I used it. Easily over ten years ago. Thank you to everyone who slogged through it to get here.
It took about a year of dual booting for me to finally feel confident using it, but now I'd never go back. It's definitely not an overnight or weekend thing, learning the "Linux way", but it's worth it. It's so much easier than it was even just 5 years ago, let alone 15

Ltsc iot win10 is supported for years to come 🏴☠️
1809 ltsc gang rise up?
BUY A COMPUTER ALREADY YOU CHEAP F*****!!!
This doesn't fix the e-waste issue. Its not always about the price of a new machine.
I think owl meant to talk in Microsoft’s voice.
Guess my parents will continue and will use unsupported OS in the future. Maybe i install Linux to my mother, as a beta tester for the family when i go visit them in the summer.
They use it for basic everyday stuff like web browsing? I installed Linux on my mom's aging laptop that she just used to sell stuff on eBay, browse, listen to music, back up photos, etc. Linux glides with ease on the machine when Windows slogged and she was able to understand the OS fine. Users today don't really have to touch the command line at all unless they are doing something advanced. The GUI is just as easy to understand as Windows.
I don't know. They maybe use only their phones now. I'm not sure. I better check before start anything. My father's computer needs AutoCAD and office so probably gonna stay in Windows 10.

Trade it in or recycle it with local organizations
And what are those organizations expected to install on systems that can't support Windows 11, Microsoft? What are they expected to install exactly?
Linux
