Or … hear me out here … switch to Linux for free and never again have to deal with this “end of an operating system, pay more ransom money to continue using your computer” bullshit.
A screen capture of a computer new site suggesting you pay money just to continue your perfectly good computer, just because Microsoft grew bored with supporting Windows 10.
ich will ja nicht angeben, aber es ist mir gestern gelungen, nach einigem Zögern, #linux_mint einfach von einer früheren Version auf die nächste zu updaten. Das Ganze hat mich vielleicht 15 Minuten gekostet. Was waren das noch für Zeiten, als man unter #Windows für so eine Aktion mindestens einen Tag veranschlagen musste, bis alles so lief, wie man wollte und den Kram dann noch irgendwo registrieren musste. Und ja, #Linux kostet nix UND nervt nicht mit #Werbung.
Rescued an old desktop which had been decomissioned as too slow and laggy for Windows even with 8GB RAM
Now running #linux_mint - I tried the #Debian edition but it was still a bit laggy with Cinnamon DE and also managed to hose its CUPS configuration immediately after the first update.
Had better luck with the #Ubuntu based edition (even though I didn't want to use Ubuntu as much) and it runs XFCE desktop very fast.
Even the printer still works! This might go in the next office as a backup PC, if they don't want it I will probably take it home with me and use it there..
