More like the child is microsoft and the firefighters are linux users

I’ve just been ignoring it all, did something happen, my windows is still windowing
MS ended support for it, so it won’t get security updates or fixes going forward.
If you can get your hands on the LTSC edition, that should have you covered until 2032
Looks like archive.org is hosting this version. Haven’t installed yet but I will work on it soon.
We didn’t start the fire
It was always burning
CD-ROM was turning
Thank you thank you thank you for reminding me about the lack of windows 10 security updates.
I’m pretty sure I have an old raspberry pi watering my plant with a 5 year old OS. Never updated once, it’s not on the internet anyways.
I took the opportunity to “downgrade” to Windows 7. My old HP laptop (which is specifically for a few specialty Windows-only apps) feels double as fast now compared to Windows 10 before. And with the help of LegacyUpdates.net and VxKex-NEXT (provides the very few Windows 10 API calls so you can even run most Win10-only apps on Win7) you get a pretty nice and lean system.
You may create a bootable/live USB with Mint [1] installed on it, and try it out to see if its works perfectly for you - from functional and performance POV.
With Linux, at least you will continue to get security patches. For Win 7 and 10 are out of support now.

Read my text again. This is my only Windows laptop - and it needs to be actual Windows for all the obscure firmware update tools of some devices I have flying around.
Everything else in my household is either Linux or MacOS.
Sorry, I just noticed that now.
