Windows 10 Support Ending Soon

Last sentence shows you're the real hero.

I love this image too much

Why why would I have apt installed on gentoo

That's the purpose

Exactly the same, what kind of lame bs is this, the best thing about the Linux community is that people help each other, not for money or fake internet points, but because they are good people.

You are 20 years old?

"gimp skills"

I use both, and I understand the whole TPM thing and why they're requiring it...

I think this is very cringe.

Linux has its uses, and benefits. But I see a lot of Windows stuff through my work.

Lemmy is SRS BUZINESS!!!

Half the people at my local LUG would espouse beliefs like this post unironically.

#!/bin/bash

for i in 0..254; do ping -c 4 10.0.0.$i &; done

wait

Throwing that many background tasks at once is a little risky, but awesome

It doesn't help that win10 support ending doesn't mean your device will immediately die. It means that you'll probably face some kind of consequences at some point in the following year and years to come, which is too hand-wavey for most people.

I think most users don’t care about support and will happily run an outdated OS.

This is precisely what happened every time a previous edition of Windows met end of support, with most users only moving to the current version by way of buying a new name-brand PC because their old one either finally broke or, more likely, because it became so loaded down with malware that it was subsequently unusable.

The majority of home users are non-nerds who only barely tolerate their computer at the best of times, click off error messages without reading them, and are quite likely to ignore any pleas from Microsoft to upgrade or buy a new computer as long as the prompts are dismissable and don't go as far as fully locking them out of using their machine.

These users will overwhelmingly have a "go to the store and buy it" mentality; they will not migrate to Linux. Rather, they will march to Best Buy or go to Amazon and buy a new PC with Windows 11 already on it, or maybe a small subset of them will work themselves up to being angry enough to switch to a Mac.

It doesn't matter much in the end

Vim or wine. Depends on what you call "open".

Install Bottles.

Add it to steam as a non-Steam game and turn on proton for it

@Venus_Ziegenfalle@feddit.org

You fly to Venus and fuck a goat.

Dork.

You can't run an exe on Linux

Idiot /s

Install wine and then double click

Just use Libre office. If you are doing anything bigger than that start a SQL server instead

Excellent. It looks like you've already installed Audacity, so next let's copy over your songs.

It's (I hope) self aware, so there's that at least

Cringe

Calling this cringe is cringe

That’s the joke.

Word!

The Windows shit-train is not, in & of itself, gonna get a significant percentage of users migrating away from suckling corporate teat.

Marketing Foss solutions to problems is something I Revere about people in the communities. Just Wish we could be a little better at helping more people make the shift.

Heal the computing planet! Deprecate the Corporate OS blight!

Don't do this

Don't worry, much like the person wielding it, it will never see any action.

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.
