if youre dead set to keep windows, just disconnect it from the internet.

People argue that Internet should be treated as a utility because it’s required so I’m not sure removing the Internet would really work.
OK Looks like my little MS Surface is going to be running Linux.
I’m running Win 10 Ameliorated on mine. Manual driver installs were the only big hiccup. Works well otherwise, but it’s not my daily driver.
I can’t really use Linux since my work is deeply embedded in Microsoft everything; I need OneDrive to work dependably.
This is great. Can’t wait to help everyone learn linux!
What do you actually learn about Linux? How do those two differ?
Just what you need to know to use it. Every OS is different. How to install it, install programs, troubleshoot problems, shortcuts and things to mske life easier.
Tbh sounds fair. I mean keeping systems secure is not cheap task . If we can kep using w10 without all the “free AI “ shit , is not bad . I mean they will get their income from w11 from it on users… From users data. They should add windows clean with the office subscription and a not clean option . I would not say free. We are used to think that free is better, but there are a lot of time invested in development and updates. Linux free distros are not so secure, they even do a statement you have to agree to use them. that’s why companies pay Read hat .
…windows 10 was free to a lot of people; it’s a pretty solid OS and i’d be happy to pay a fair price for ongoing support…
Unless you pirated W10 it was not free. The price of laptop and PC hardware with Windows per-installed is subsidized.
…i should clarify: upgrades from windows 7/8 were free…
I got my license for free from Microsoft, they literally gave them away when 10 was first launching, it was some kind of ambassador program ig but whatever it was it didnt require paying for anything.
First time ive had a legitimate windows license since xp
So if you still want to use Windows 10 after October 2025. You need to pay them $30 to do it. Okay, just update to 11 or use Linux. Where’s the problem?
