Deeply concerned about the imminent mountain of e-waste when Windows 10 support ends in 2025/2028.
@joepie91 it's honestly outrageous that I can play modern games on my hardware but not run windows 11. Why isn't any government suing the shit out of Microsoft?
@joepie91 I'll be converting my Windows 10 hardware over to Linux either desktop or server. I don't plan to ditch the hardware but I am having to buy new hardware I don't need. 😞
On the plus side, Microsoft is finally offering consumers the ability to buy extended support which will be really nice if it's affordable.
@KuJoe Sort of; the extended support will only be valid until 2028, and will only cover security updates, ie. will not involve compatibility for future software releases.
@joepie91 true, but it's better than nothing especially for an OS that will require newer hardware and isn't a clean upgrade for a lot of users who don't upgrade hardware on a regular frequency.
(You do not get to respond to this with "use Linux" unless you intend to spend your next year working on perfect Windows application compatibility on Linux)
