    Hah. Good luck trying to make me dispose of the computer I built almost a decade ago and that I just upgraded. Neither my laptops nor my phones have outlived this baby.

      I put Linux on my mom’s laptop which is nearing two decades old at this point. It was the pragmatic choice even though I personally use Windows.

      Windows security updates only last a few years. Would be annoying to keep reinstalling and re explaining the changed UI every few years.

      It might be time to release the shackles of Windows and head on over to Linux.

      Or I guess you could get Windows 10 LTSC.

        Yeah! I’m gonna use Windows 10 LTSC in the meantime but I’m still eyeing a full jump to Linux.
