the absolute dumbest thing linux users do
Since Microsoft laid down the boom with Windows 10 and cut off support (unless you pay for an extra year), there have been videos aplenty on YouTube from Linux people telling people DOWNLOAD LINUX AND SWITCH! SWITCH! SWITCH!
That's not happening.
It will never happen.
And I know why.
Oct 14, 2025 came and went, and that was the end-of-support day for Windows 10.
While true Microsoft has offered a way to have Win10 continue to receive updates for longer, that's not free for United States users.
Given I hardly used Win10 at all, I deleted it.
Near my computer, I have a little mini Ms. Pac-Man game. Mine is the one that looks like a little arcade cabinet. I remember many years ago back in the '80s when those things were at Toys 'R' Us and I wanted one so bad. Back then, I wanted a set of three. A Pac-Man, a Donkey Kong and a Frogger. The set I want now has changed. I have the Ms. Pac-Man, but I also want a Q*Bert and a Galaga.
There is another one however that's much bigger to truly satisfy my Pac-Man fever.
Just for grins, I looked up expensive digital watches since I prefer digital over analog. There were two things that immediately stuck out.
First, with little exception, everything was either too big or too goofy.
Second, it turns out I already own the second classiest digital timepiece, and it's not expensive at all.
Under a week, actually. The doomsday date official support ends for Windows 10 is 14-Oct-2025.
Even though I have Windows 11 installed on my other computer, I still have an SSD that I kept with a full install of Win10 on it.
Why?
