Gentle reminder to everyone that support for #windows10 ends in about 90 weeks. Many computers can’t upgrade to Win 11 so here are your options:

  1. Continue on Win 10 but with higher security risks.
  2. Buy new and expensive hardware that supports Win11.
  3. Try a beginner friendly #Linux distro like #linuxmint. It only takes about two months to acclimate.

    I know people like to hate on windows here but come on: 90 weeks is another ~18 months. It’s near the end of 2025.

    While absolutely true, what you’re saying, saying 90 weeks instead of any alternative (630 days!) Is just trying to make it sounds worse than it is to push an agenda.

      90 weeks is more like 20 month and i could calculate that off of my head by knowing that a year has 52 weeks. I would have struggled more with days.

      You could make this criticism about any date metric that it gets more or less easy to translate into a different metric.

      Weeks are perfectly fine and most commonly used in the business context.

      I agree. This post seems like a half-assed attempt to get people to switch to Linux. 90 weeks. Jesus.
