At this point, I'm just considering buying more RAM for my laptop and then run Linux and just have a Windows virtual machine for the three or four programs I regularly use that aren't compatible with Linux.
Do it. If you play on steam it's very likely all your games will work right out of the gate with Proton (Steam's compatibility layer). Only exceptions are games with iffy anticheats, you can use proton db to check what games are compatible. I switched almost 2 weeks ago I and love it, takes a bit to learn and you have to be patient but it is not as hard as I thought.
Another thing to consider is that a lot of Linux alternatives exist for popular Windows software as well, so if you didn't want to mess with VMs maybe consider that as an option too.
So businesses can pay for an extra year of updates. Price doubles every year though. They haven't clarified what options will be available for your average Joe though.
That's the ESU program starting price per device for businesses. Regular consumer pricing hasn't been disclosed yet. The program will only run for three years, with the price doubling each year. IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 lasts until 2032, so the program is pointless if you're not running a business.
Most difficult part in switching to linux is choosing a distro. Technical pain points are lack of driver support from nvidia for laptops and older GPUs, some developers forgetting to add linux libs for anti-cheat and, well, some specialized professional software, so you need to research alternatives and if they will be sufficient for you. If not, there's a decision to be made if you ready to read some how-tos about qemu and hardware pass-through and if it will work for you (again, usually issues with nvidia)

They could argue that technically windows 11 is just an upgrade of windows 10 and since you can get it for free (if you have win10) they just kept windows 10 but with a different name. Unfortunatelly, one is WAY worse than the other

If you all just switch to Linux and declare as consumers that you're comfortable losing the option of playing anyone's game that isn't compatible. Then all of those developers will immediately prioritize Linux over Windows. Capitalism is a game of chess, where most of the time the corporations win only because most of the consumers they're playing against think they're playing checkers. So long as you remain a Windows user, you really have no one to blame but yourself.
Win 11 isn't directly bad, it's just different than Win 10. What you can do in win 10, you can do just as well in win11. I don't like the look of win11. I think it's naked and ugly and lifeless. Win10 is a little bit better. There are things I don't like so much about win11, But the things you want to do you can do in win 11 without any problems!
@@lpnp9477 That could be nice. I still plan onto building a new PC and installing Win11 on it, but because of the recent moves to more and more data gathering from Windows, I think I will be primarily using Linux. I've never used it, but I plan on installing Mint soon.

Nice! I hope you find what you're looking for. I chose Linux Mint. What ever you choose, don't let the occasional loudmouth-neck-beard push you around with "YOU ARE USING THE WRONG DISTRO!!!!! YOU SHOULD ONLY USE ARCH!!!!" 🙄 Just choose what you like, and stick with it.
I can really recommend MX Linux! Easy to install, setup and use... very stable (Debian stable based), with thoroughly tested backports to provide more up to date packages than Debian stable.. and 95% of my vast Steam library works on it - both native Linux games and Win0s only games via ProtonGE... And MX Linux does not shove BigTech architected bloatware and control systems down your throat (e.g. it provides systemd as an optional use component and a systemd compatibility mechanism while allowing you to use a simpler, leaner, much faster init instead...

@@MyouKyuubi You need modern hardware for VM. My ten year old uP won't cut it. But I did install Linux Mint and was impressed that it could do simple things like LibreOffice, Firefox, and that's about it (it choked on a few other Windows substitutes). So for granny's PC that uses Gmail I might migrate to Linux, as that's all she needs.
@@raylopez99 Linux mint can do way more than just that though, lol. And to my knowledge, VM doesn't require modern hardware, it just requires you allocate a decent chunk of resources to the VM, so that windows can run in it, which could, depending on what kind of computer you have, and what you intend to run in that VM, be rather demanding. For a VM machine, for example, i'd recommend 32 gb of ram minimum, for example, as you'll be able to allocate half of that to the VM, which allows you to play most games on the VM just fine. The fun thing about this, though, is that you don't need to VM windows 10 or 11... You can VM ANY windows version, which means for a VM of windows 98 for example, you wouldn't need to allocate 16 gb of ram, you could allocate like 4 gb... And since it's a VM, your actual computer will be perfectly safe from cyberthreats. :)
If everyone just keeps running Win 10, MSFT will extend and extend the kill date, just like with WIn 7 and XP.. They have been doing this Anti-Consumer behavior for YEARS

Here's the definitive answer that can't be shared by a huge tech channel on youtube (because there's no easy or legit way of getting it without p i r a c y): Use Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021. It will be supported until 2032. In my experience with it, it functions exactly the same as normal Windows, but doesn't come with any preinstalled apps, besides Edge and the basic windows 7 apps.
After watching the video and read the comments say "just switch to Linux". But, even when there are some Linux distros are user-friendly, not collecting your data and installing bloatware, will a "lay person" willing to switch? Heck, do they even care about Windows are doing stuffs I mentioned above or worse, don't know Linux is a thing. I've known a guy restore decade-old laptops and gifting them for extremely poor children in my country, and he still install non-enterprise Windows 10 on machines only have merely 4GB RAM at best. So yeah, for the everyone who have watched this and all the tech savvy out there say that "Linux is much better" or "just use the Windows Enterprise version", please know that most of the normal people who are using a computer just either don't know/don't care about it or just play it safe so they just stick to Windows instead. P.S: English is not my main language so forgive me if I make any mistakes.
Yeah I hear you. In the Philippines I set up Kiwix on old hardware that needed Windows 10 on a CD that was 4 GB or less, a special version, forget the version, but modern distros of W10 would not load on a CD, just so the kids could use Wikipedia for their homework assignments since they didn't have good internet back in the day. They finally got internet recently tho.
@@jackthatmonkey8994 because they would still want something that is officially supported and thus safe to use. Most non-techies want something that works, but ideally something that they know. They are not that into tech. Switching to another OS (or a different edition of Windows) is also too daunting for many.
A 'layperson' would not be interested in this video and would either just get 11 or stick with 10 and ignore the warnings. This is meant for people who know why 11 is bad.

Until recently I was happy with my Windows 10 but I changed PCs and had to use Windows 11 but where I got it from it came with malware and now I am in the process of downloading it again
I feel like a *LOT* of Windows 10 users are just waiting for Windows 12 like me lol. We are used to Windows being good once every two releases, so we know W11 was just an extended Beta test for W12.
There are multiple issues there: - unless Acros signs a deal with MS, they won't have early access to responsibly-disclosed vulnerabilities - they can't patch mechanisms like the scheduler, faulty drivers, or some of the more intricate bugs that trigger within kernel space (good luck writing code to detect speculative execution side channel attacks) - they're tampering with all of the running programs; this is a huge trust issue (they could inject any payload, be it genuine or malicious) - your anticheats are certainly gonna complain about sharing a room with this thing - what if they introduce other vulnerabilities? It's not like they can run a static analysis to catch their bugs ahead of time, they're doing live patching in user space
Yes. And from the other comments apparently anti-cheat software and even some Microsoft software does the same thing. It boils down to who do you trust? If you trust your game developer and Microsoft I guess you can trust this European company? I'll wait but am leaning to paying MSFT if they offer consumer support.
If you prefer OEM patches, get your Windows 11 upgrade. I have no problem with well-examined open source code. Looks like this one has been around for years. There are questions about the methodology and whether it's sensible. I'm not finding concerns with released code or complaints that it failed. When you want facts, research is your friend.
Just use Linux Mint or wait for SteamOS to come out. I've had no issues gaming, watching videos, or even doing work (when Crowdstrike nuked my work machine!). (Honestly, I'd just say install Mint, since getting Steam is the same process as installing it on Windows, but I have a feeling SteamOS is going to be one slick boy)
SteamOS is out (HoloISO, ChimeraOS) but it's really more of a gaming console OS than a daily driver. Linux Mint or Kubuntu would be the best route for most people to go.
@@kliajesal4592 I would suggest Kubuntu (I used to really like KDE, and am not a fan of GNOME), but last I tried it, man there were some issues. If they cleaned up their act, then yeah, KDE would be basically "We infused the pretty aspects of XP and Vista, but the functionality of 7 and 10."

I use W10 till software makers starting to not support W10, same reason forced me to switch from W7 to W10 (my reason was Assasins Creed 3 I really wanted to play it). I think maybe if Chrome and Firefox and Nvidia and Eset Nod32 starting to not support Windows10 that will be my deadline to think about buy a new a laptop and go to something else. (It's a shame to throw away an Acer Predator Helios 300 because it's processor is not supported by Win11, okay the GTX1060 with 6GB of vram and the I7 cpu might be outdated but for me it's still enough for gaming like for Quake2 Enchanced or for Metin2). I think using an AV softvare rather then Defender might be a survival step (I prefer Eset's solutions, you can easily find keys for it in Facebook groups). I have a same opinion with Jody Bruchon, Windows11 must be stopped, just rise your middle finger and don't change to anything from W10, they will need to make critical patches if we still use it in great numbers.
Every time I install linux on a friend's computer, etc. within a month they are begging for Windows 7/10 to be reinstalled. Linux will never be the mainline common man operating system unfortunately so this matters.
You can't install Linux on someone else's computer and expect them to have a good time, they have to want to seek it out themselves. The learning curve is better than ever but there will always be one, just like switching to MacOS, and different things will be supported, some stuff will work better, some not. They have to want to overcome that. Also if they have a laptop running Nvidia, I would unironically get a different laptop or disable the Nvidia gpu if you don't need dedicated graphics. You can get it to work but it's just not worth it
I can't find words to tell you how much I would like to do just that. I lost Windows 7 because my laptop died, and the new one I got had Windows 8. I hated that so much that I upgraded to Windows 10, hoping it would be an improvement. It was, sort of. It's not what I want though. It still feels like computing with a condom and a straight jacket on around half the time. I have seen Windows 11 though, and it's much worse. So for now, I am fighting to stay on this hill because I really don't like what's on the next. I am blind and don't know if I could manage reinstalling an OS since speech usually doesn't come up until most of the installation is done. Should I ever find a shop who could fix my laptop by putting Windows 7 on it, you will hear a sonic boom as I rush off to get it done. :-) I have some disability specific apps that only run on windows and that do not have equivalents on Linux or Mac. That is what has kept me in the windows ecosystem for so long. In the end, I will probably end up getting a Mac and doing some sort of virtualization for windows, just to run the few apps I need to use. at least for now, that makes the most sense to me.
The better alternative would be to migrate to a user-friendly Linux distribution and use that computer for standard activities, such as web browsing. Linux distributions like Ubuntu or Linux Mint are two of the top options for migrating your system. In fact, there are ways to transition to Linux without losing your current operating system, so if you ever lose access to it, you can simply boot into Linux and access all your original files on Windows drives. Dual booting Linux and Windows allows you to learn Linux gradually before fully migrating to it. Starting now would give you a solid understanding of how to use the new Linux OS alongside Windows. Using Windows 10 exclusively for gaming might be fine, but I have already seen some game companies planning to stop support for Windows 10 once it reaches end-of-life, preventing certain older multiplayer games from running due to security vulnerabilities. Therefore, it’s wise to explore your options now, learn how to migrate to Linux or set up a dual-boot system, and have a plan in place to fully switch to Linux by the time Windows 10 support ends. I do wish Adobe software was available on Linux, as it would reduce e-waste significantly. For instance, I had to migrate my computer because Adobe is already removing features from their Windows 10 software.
yep, im planning to switch to Linux Mint, testing it in a VM for now. If you think about it, most of the internet (servers) use linux. Your Android or iOS device is UNIX at its core along with linux and MAC OS

Also, if you need to reinstall an OS, you could always use Linux! :) I strongly suggest flashing a usb drive with Linux Mint, it's nice having one of those, especially if you're in a tight spot, for whatever reason... Like for example, your computer got infested with something real nasty, and the only way to get rid of it is to reformat. ;) It's a nice emergency solution!
NO, f***kit, I'm switching back to Linux before the end of support for the Windows-10 gui. What's funny is that patches to the kernel for Windows 10 users will end in a year while Windows 11 users will get it, yet it's the same kernel.
what are the advantages/disadvantages to Win 10 IOT? does it support hardware acceleration? consumer drivers? (so games?) accounts? do you run it on a box? do you run it with a fox?
We've already seen how, if there is a major risk, ms will cover also unsupported OSs (see winxp in 2016). I'll just stick with win10 and just be a little more cautious
To be honest, there here is no need to update even Windows, infact the current one on your PC works as good as it will after 20 years (take for example windows 7)
Many are assuming that prices for 3 more years of support will be too high for anyone to bother. Some say, based on education prices (under $10 for the 3 years) that prices for consumer may be much lower than prices for businesses (already annouced). Paying something like 10 + 20 + 40 dollars (for 1st + 2nd + 3rd year) might push some people to just pay a small amount rather than bother with other solutions....

Actually, I’m willing to go further than that lol, I’d probably donate the price of whatever the latest version of Windows is each and every year to Linux Mint. Then I’d donate to my favorite applications like Krita, GIMP, and KDEnlive.
uhmm, this software would have full memory access to do that. meaning it can change ANYTHING in memory. so if a patch goes wrong, like Crowdstrike or a malicious actor gets in, it can essentially change the entire running system. or even alter running processes to write the malicious code to disk 4:29 yeah, no. if it has the power to change the memory of other programs, it can not be in userspace, that is the whole purpose essentially. user space programs CAN NOT change the memory space of other programs. the kernel will not allow them through.

I know it's redundant to say, but it might be better to just go with Linux alternatively. Not saying right now, there's still a year left to enjoy Windows 10 as it is, but eventually you will have to consider other options. Linux will take time to understand but that's anything new you're not familiar with, like Windows 11. And the reality is nothing is ever going to be perfect. It's just a matter of deciding on what are you willing to tolerate. Side note: It will be interesting to see what happens after that due date though. Many companies and people will be flooding the used market with some decent computer hardware, so something to look out for. That would be a great time to explore Linux on a second-hand computer then.

At this point, I'm just considering buying more RAM for my laptop and then run Linux and just have a Windows virtual machine for the three or four programs I regularly use that aren't compatible with Linux.
Do it.
If you play on steam it's very likely all your games will work right out of the gate with Proton (Steam's compatibility layer). Only exceptions are games with iffy anticheats, you can use proton db to check what games are compatible. I switched almost 2 weeks ago I and love it, takes a bit to learn and you have to be patient but it is not as hard as I thought.
Another thing to consider is that a lot of Linux alternatives exist for popular Windows software as well, so if you didn't want to mess with VMs maybe consider that as an option too.
We need more people like you :)
There's also Wine, even easier than running a VM.
WineGE too!
what is the "Microsoft: $61 USD/year" price at the end? Is that a service microsoft is offering to keep windows 10 updated????
Yes.
Yep pretty much. If you want updates from Microsoft for Win 10 beyond its end of life thats the price for official updates.
So businesses can pay for an extra year of updates. Price doubles every year though.
They haven't clarified what options will be available for your average Joe though.
@@japzone Options for the average Joe?
Easy: none.
That's the ESU program starting price per device for businesses. Regular consumer pricing hasn't been disclosed yet. The program will only run for three years, with the price doubling each year. IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 lasts until 2032, so the program is pointless if you're not running a business.

Most difficult part in switching to linux is choosing a distro.
Technical pain points are lack of driver support from nvidia for laptops and older GPUs, some developers forgetting to add linux libs for anti-cheat and, well, some specialized professional software, so you need to research alternatives and if they will be sufficient for you.
If not, there's a decision to be made if you ready to read some how-tos about qemu and hardware pass-through and if it will work for you (again, usually issues with nvidia)
We should class action sue Windows...they advertised that Win 10 would be "the last windows OS"
Jerry Nixon: good ... good...
People who bought "the last convertibles" in 1976 tried to sue General Motors in 1986 when expected rollover regulations never happened so GM brought back convertibles.
They could argue that technically windows 11 is just an upgrade of windows 10 and since you can get it for free (if you have win10) they just kept windows 10 but with a different name.
Unfortunatelly, one is WAY worse than the other
They literally didn't. There was a single windows engineer that off handedly said it "could be" in an interview and literally every single tech news company ran with it like it was God's own word, making everyone believe it. They never intended it to be the last windows.

If you all just switch to Linux and declare as consumers that you're comfortable losing the option of playing anyone's game that isn't compatible. Then all of those developers will immediately prioritize Linux over Windows.

@@MyouKyuubi You need modern hardware for VM. My ten year old uP won't cut it.

So for granny's PC that uses Gmail I might migrate to Linux, as that's all she needs.
@@raylopez99 Linux mint can do way more than just that though, lol. And to my knowledge, VM doesn't require modern hardware, it just requires you allocate a decent chunk of resources to the VM, so that windows can run in it, which could, depending on what kind of computer you have, and what you intend to run in that VM, be rather demanding.
For a VM machine, for example, i'd recommend 32 gb of ram minimum, for example, as you'll be able to allocate half of that to the VM, which allows you to play most games on the VM just fine.
The fun thing about this, though, is that you don't need to VM windows 10 or 11... You can VM ANY windows version, which means for a VM of windows 98 for example, you wouldn't need to allocate 16 gb of ram, you could allocate like 4 gb... And since it's a VM, your actual computer will be perfectly safe from cyberthreats. :)

In my experience with it, it functions exactly the same as normal Windows, but doesn't come with any preinstalled apps, besides Edge and the basic windows 7 apps.

But, even when there are some Linux distros are user-friendly, not collecting your data and installing bloatware, will a "lay person" willing to switch?

I've known a guy restore decade-old laptops and gifting them for extremely poor children in my country, and he still install non-enterprise Windows 10 on machines only have merely 4GB RAM at best. So yeah, for the everyone who have watched this and all the tech savvy out there say that "Linux is much better" or "just use the Windows Enterprise version", please know that most of the normal people who are using a computer just either don't know/don't care about it or just play it safe so they just stick to Windows instead.
P.S: English is not my main language so forgive me if I make any mistakes.
Yeah I hear you. In the Philippines I set up Kiwix on old hardware that needed Windows 10 on a CD that was 4 GB or less, a special version, forget the version, but modern distros of W10 would not load on a CD, just so the kids could use Wikipedia for their homework assignments since they didn't have good internet back in the day.

There are multiple issues there:
- unless Acros signs a deal with MS, they won't have early access to responsibly-disclosed vulnerabilities
- they can't patch mechanisms like the scheduler, faulty drivers, or some of the more intricate bugs that trigger within kernel space (good luck writing code to detect speculative execution side channel attacks)
- they're tampering with all of the running programs; this is a huge trust issue (they could inject any payload, be it genuine or malicious)
- your anticheats are certainly gonna complain about sharing a room with this thing
- what if they introduce other vulnerabilities? It's not like they can run a static analysis to catch their bugs ahead of time, they're doing live patching in user space
Wild that updating system files would flag as a security issue, but injecting code into a running program doesn't.
Yes. And from the other comments apparently anti-cheat software and even some Microsoft software does the same thing. It boils down to who do you trust?

Answer to the last question, eff yeah. Info appreciated. Thank you
I use W10 till software makers starting to not support W10, same reason forced me to switch from W7 to W10 (my reason was Assasins Creed 3 I really wanted to play it).
I think maybe if Chrome and Firefox and Nvidia and Eset Nod32 starting to not support Windows10 that will be my deadline to think about buy a new a laptop and go to something else.
(It's a shame to throw away an Acer Predator Helios 300 because it's processor is not supported by Win11, okay the GTX1060 with 6GB of vram and the I7 cpu might be outdated but for me it's still enough for gaming like for Quake2 Enchanced or for Metin2).
I think using an AV softvare rather then Defender might be a survival step (I prefer Eset's solutions, you can easily find keys for it in Facebook groups).
I have a same opinion with Jody Bruchon, Windows11 must be stopped, just rise your middle finger and don't change to anything from W10, they will need to make critical patches if we still use it in great numbers.
Every time I install linux on a friend's computer, etc. within a month they are begging for Windows 7/10 to be reinstalled. Linux will never be the mainline common man operating system unfortunately so this matters.
You can't install Linux on someone else's computer and expect them to have a good time, they have to want to seek it out themselves. The learning curve is better than ever but there will always be one, just like switching to MacOS, and different things will be supported, some stuff will work better, some not. They have to want to overcome that.
Also if they have a laptop running Nvidia, I would unironically get a different laptop or disable the Nvidia gpu if you don't need dedicated graphics. You can get it to work but it's just not worth it
Reinstall W7
Based solution
Microsoft made it difficult to install all updates on older oses, it takes days... A solution I found is isos with included updates
Reinstall Windows XP
Never left it.
I can't find words to tell you how much I would like to do just that. I lost Windows 7 because my laptop died, and the new one I got had Windows 8. I hated that so much that I upgraded to Windows 10, hoping it would be an improvement. It was, sort of. It's not what I want though. It still feels like computing with a condom and a straight jacket on around half the time. I have seen Windows 11 though, and it's much worse. So for now, I am fighting to stay on this hill because I really don't like what's on the next.
I am blind and don't know if I could manage reinstalling an OS since speech usually doesn't come up until most of the installation is done. Should I ever find a shop who could fix my laptop by putting Windows 7 on it, you will hear a sonic boom as I rush off to get it done. :-) I have some disability specific apps that only run on windows and that do not have equivalents on Linux or Mac. That is what has kept me in the windows ecosystem for so long.
In the end, I will probably end up getting a Mac and doing some sort of virtualization for windows, just to run the few apps I need to use. at least for now, that makes the most sense to me.
The better alternative would be to migrate to a user-friendly Linux distribution and use that computer for standard activities, such as web browsing. Linux distributions like Ubuntu or Linux Mint are two of the top options for migrating your system. In fact, there are ways to transition to Linux without losing your current operating system, so if you ever lose access to it, you can simply boot into Linux and access all your original files on Windows drives. Dual booting Linux and Windows allows you to learn Linux gradually before fully migrating to it. Starting now would give you a solid understanding of how to use the new Linux OS alongside Windows.
Using Windows 10 exclusively for gaming might be fine, but I have already seen some game companies planning to stop support for Windows 10 once it reaches end-of-life, preventing certain older multiplayer games from running due to security vulnerabilities. Therefore, it’s wise to explore your options now, learn how to migrate to Linux or set up a dual-boot system, and have a plan in place to fully switch to Linux by the time Windows 10 support ends.
I do wish Adobe software was available on Linux, as it would reduce e-waste significantly. For instance, I had to migrate my computer because Adobe is already removing features from their Windows 10 software.

I think most of us already have been for the past like 5 months. But yeah lets keep pushing and get value to keep pushing to make all games linux supported after all they really have already made great progress for linux gaming.
@@FluffyChops if the popular games like Minecraft, Fortnite, CoD, Apex, those kind sof games, get full support for Linux, I'm fully switching. That's mainly the reason I haven't switched fully yet, and Minecraft runs so poorly on it even compared to Windows XP.
@@ARandomInternetUser08It looks like Minecraft has a launcher for Linux, so I guess they support Linux ;)
@@ScreamyBanana I tried it on Ubuntu but the game lagged a lot compared to it on XP for some reason, and other Windows OSs. It had a similar jittering issue to the far lands jitter you see in old Java versions pre-beta 1.8
I'll try it on Linux Mint though.
@@ARandomInternetUser08skill issue
W11 doesn't even have a functioning file Explorer, that's just one major issue lol
Naa, just upgrade to Linux.
Can't play my multiplayer games with the boys on Linux. I rather be social and unsecured then secured and alone
Nah, just upgrade to TempleOS
@@thor.halsli ??????
I'd rather just never use a computer again than switch to Linux
@@thor.halsliI swapped from Windows 10 to dual-booting with a distro called Bazzite a couple weeks ago. It's targeted specifically at gaming. It works really well, even in multiplayer and games with EAC! If you're interested, I'd say give it a shot.
Don't you mean downgrade to Windows 11. That's like saying you upgraded from a Honda to a Nissan...
I mean new Nissans are shit
@@Frank_Pods yeah, anything 2005 and up, especially with the JATCO CVT
@@1HotLegendLS Just the CVT ones are garbage. I drive an 2009 Xtrail non-CVT auto. runs flawlessly.
2025 will be the year of the Linux desktop
Maybe not, but maybe in 5-10 years, we'll see a year of the linux desktop, that's only if things go well for linux, and badly for, literally any other OS. :P
I hope because I'm gonna switch also 🙏
Sort of feel it be more 2026 will be the year of linux there is gonna be quite a group that will stay just bit longer + October to December isn't that long amount of time to really declare it year of linux when most even myself will stick with windows 10 all the way up to the end.
No one will go to Linux before macOS.
@@AnonymousChannel512 I did. MacOS was never an option for me lol, i want to actually play games! xD
On linux mint right now, it's pretty good. :3
When they force me from 10, I have been running a Linux gaming pc alongside, won't be much of a change for me.
this is great, there's nothing wrong with my pc and i dont even like windows 11 so i will not be "upgrading" for as long as possible. Love to see some competition
Also, if you need to reinstall an OS, you could always use Linux! :)
I strongly suggest flashing a usb drive with Linux Mint, it's nice having one of those, especially if you're in a tight spot, for whatever reason... Like for example, your computer got infested with something real nasty, and the only way to get rid of it is to reformat. ;)
It's a nice emergency solution!
NO, f***kit, I'm switching back to Linux before the end of support for the Windows-10 gui. What's funny is that patches to the kernel for Windows 10 users will end in a year while Windows 11 users will get it, yet it's the same kernel.
When Windows 11 is so disliked, that a company believes they can make money from giving people to option to avoid using it Windows 11.
what are the advantages/disadvantages to Win 10 IOT? does it support hardware acceleration? consumer drivers? (so games?) accounts? do you run it on a box? do you run it with a fox?
You know I'm just gonna use Windows 10 with the last update until I can't use it anymore and switch to Linux
And then just dual-boot win11 or run a VM for any software you need.
Linux: 🗿
I switched to Linux Mint. I'm never looking back
Wait till you need something a little bit more complex and useful than text editor.
@@yaroslavpanych2067 Such as?
@@yaroslavpanych2067Lemme guess, "adobe" lol
@@yaroslavpanych2067You’re leading w/ your ignorance. Most of the enterprise world runs on Linux. Mint is more than capable for non-enterprise users.
which Linux distro did you decide to go with? Mint?
We've already seen how, if there is a major risk, ms will cover also unsupported OSs (see winxp in 2016). I'll just stick with win10 and just be a little more cautious
"P I A" also means "Pain In Arse".
PIA doesn’t provide WireGuard configs for manual loading to routers and such, so I switched to providers that do.
To be honest, there here is no need to update even Windows, infact the current one on your PC works as good as it will after 20 years (take for example windows 7)
get linux mint or some distro like that at this point
I did, it's awesome!
Many are assuming that prices for 3 more years of support will be too high for anyone to bother. Some say, based on education prices (under $10 for the 3 years) that prices for consumer may be much lower than prices for businesses (already annouced). Paying something like 10 + 20 + 40 dollars (for 1st + 2nd + 3rd year) might push some people to just pay a small amount rather than bother with other solutions....
Easy and best solution: Linux
Best...sure.. Easy? That depends on many variables
But regardless, ..WORTH...the journey and effort to leave winturd to rot in the past where microcrap belongs. ( Mint Cinnamon user 100% without Windows since July 28 2020 and used off and on since late 2010 and couldn't be happier )
Not super easy for beginners, but I totally agree! I love Linux.
@@TheosTechTips nothing new is super easy for beginners.. it doesn't matter what the task or item is involved in life. But Linux Mint is probably the easiest transition from Windows that I have seen in my 14 years of using it specifically Linux Mint cinnamon. Zorin OS is not bad either
@@motoryzen Yeah. I've bounced from Ubuntu to Mint to ElementaryOS to DeepinOS to Zorin, etc. Mint has a fairly nice UI.
The idea is good but also dangerous... its hard enough to trust microsoft let alone a third part company to patch your windows. Who knows what kind of things they could put into your PC without you knowing, keyloggers, or maybe something worse than microsoft recall even. Look what adobe was doing to its customers, it changed its user agreements and started stealing peoples artwork, you can't trust any company.
A better plan:
1) Install Linux
2) Donate $27/year to a FOSS project of your choice
Actually, I’m willing to go further than that lol, I’d probably donate the price of whatever the latest version of Windows is each and every year to Linux Mint. Then I’d donate to my favorite applications like Krita, GIMP, and KDEnlive.
uhmm, this software would have full memory access to do that.
meaning it can change ANYTHING in memory. so if a patch goes wrong, like Crowdstrike or a malicious actor gets in, it can essentially change the entire running system.
or even alter running processes to write the malicious code to disk
4:29 yeah, no. if it has the power to change the memory of other programs, it can not be in userspace, that is the whole purpose essentially.
user space programs CAN NOT change the memory space of other programs. the kernel will not allow them through.
how about instead of exposing yourself to vulnerabilities or paying to keep yourself safe, move to Linux? it's free
It's not free. It wastes time, and time is money.
@@SirAdelaide and the time you'll waste dealing with the Windows 11 crap isn't money? how about the time you'll spent trying to figure out if a live patching solution is a scam?
@@SirAdelaidetime is not money. Time is time. What you're trading for is freedom, Linux trades some convenience for freedom, but if you support FOSS in any way we always work towards convenience it's just freedom comes first.
Look at Proton, a few years ago you only had command-line Wine and most people installed everything in a Wine instance in their home directory.
Now we have Proton via a drop-down in Steam (and Lutris, and Bottles) and you just click play.
i wonder if this hole will end up increasing the linux market-share, i would certainly advise for this solution
You just keep using it as nomal. The only difference between 10 and 11 is Windows 11 having shltty UI and more junk features.
😂
I see Windows is going back to their old ways and not learning from Win Vista
@@social3ngin33rinAnd Windows 8, as well!
literally, lol
I know it's redundant to say, but it might be better to just go with Linux alternatively. Not saying right now, there's still a year left to enjoy Windows 10 as it is, but eventually you will have to consider other options. Linux will take time to understand but that's anything new you're not familiar with, like Windows 11. And the reality is nothing is ever going to be perfect. It's just a matter of deciding on what are you willing to tolerate.
Side note: It will be interesting to see what happens after that due date though. Many companies and people will be flooding the used market with some decent computer hardware, so something to look out for. That would be a great time to explore Linux on a second-hand computer then.
Linux Mint user here, and back in the 90s I dual booted RedHat and NT. But I think for most users, and that includes me and I program as a hobby, Linux is not really a good option unless you want to just surf the net, use the excellent LibreOffice as a Word substitute, and use Yahoo/Outlook/Gmail as your email and calendar. But for many people that's all they need so go for it.
More and more, Linux is the answer... and no, it's not for everybody, so don't reply with that... but it truly is becoming what most people need these days.
Especially cause a lot of people mostly just use a web browser.
240 mil is an understatement. How do you work it out? I have the following in my household all being used daily:
Two x i5 2500k systems for media and office work
One x i5 6600 Gaming/Media PC
One x i5 6600k Gaming PC
One x 7600k Gaming PC
One x 7700k Gaming PC
One old AMD system
Two laptops of an old nature
None of these nine PCs can use Win11.
How's this right?
Microsoft said Windows 10 would be the last OS, I'm keeping it for as long as physically possible, probably until Windows 12.
Should've gone for Linux
Downloads Linux, keeps the same OS for 20 years
Microsoft: I'm Afraid I Can't Do That, Dave. 😏
Windows 10 without updates is still more secure than that WIN 11 full of spyware and bloat.
lmao
They're the same thing. 🤡
If you don't want spyware and bloat, don't you have to go all the way back to xp
Heyo, fellow Canadian from the lower mainland here. Trying to hold on to windows 10 for as long as possible, I'll disabled windows update medic service if I have to!
I'm still using Windows 7 with zero issues.
Behind a NAT so no IPv6 vulnerability and a couple of manual updates for things like encryption exploits.
Your security models depends on the websites you access being secure and non-malicious. NAT is not much more than denying connections from outside of your network unless you connect to them first
@@jackthatmonkey8994 While somewhat correct you seem to be unaware of the recent wormable IPv6 Windows exploit which would allow remote code execution simply by throwing packets at an IP address CVE-2024-38063. Being behind NAT completely mitigates this attack.
@@jackthatmonkey8994 While somewhat accurate you seem to be unaware of the recent exploit (CVE-2024-38063) which is completely mitigated by NAT. IPv4 behind NAT with no IPv6 pass-through means no exploitable remote code execution.
Imagine it breaks stuff, that'd be wild
well i think linux user base might get a bit of a jump, at least among the tech savy folk. now of course there is the potential solution of simply installing windows 11 on unsupported hardware.
Use it like everyone used xp long after, and win 7. Really doesn’t matter for most people to use 10 when Microsoft stops doing updates. Companies? Yeah they can’t do that usually, but regular users are fine. Once
Perfect, the thing protecting my computer from infections and attacks is easily disabled and reversed!!!
2 weeks ago i try use linux ubuntu , its still pain in the ass , but i hope before next year i can fully use linux . here in indonesia , average monthly income will not matched price of latest technology .
I'm just waiting for Windows 12... Windows 11 is literally unplayable. lmao...
Why let yourself get caught in this never ending cycle? Who's to say windows 12 won't be worse?
Because windows has a pattern of good,bad,good,bad almost like it's intentional to keep them in the news.
@@kirbys2997 I have a feeling all versions that follow 11 will be considered 'bad' and no 'good' version after 11
it may be more worse than previous ones
While I do not doubt the effectiveness of this approach, what stopping hackers or other persons from using similar methods to apply malicious "patches"?
Very interesting! Can we get someone to do this for XP and 7 now?
7 was the best! I still miss it.
They already do it for 7 and to an extent xp and vista, not sure how much longer tho
@@youdontknowme5969 I do, too!
@@Ordlnary_Gamer I have no idea how I have never heard of this until now LOL.
ah yes, because I need to throw out my entire computer to change my OS
Soon my dual boot will become one
Only reason I'm still on 10 is simply because "it works" as my last two systems have never once had a crash/issue thus far on 10..so I got no desire to hop to 11. Have used 11 in public spaces before, feels much the same. So yeah. No plans here. Keep things as-is with my unactivated copy since I just bypassed that watermark and keep on running with it.
Or, you can install Linux, that also works. :)
The video is about USING WINDOWS 10 after 2025 lol.
@@jean-francoisbouchard3382 Yeah by downloading shady stuff, effectively a virus that acts as an antivirus, not safe.
Linux is safer, therefore, a better alternative.
This is a great video. Also, I love the aspect ratio!
I kept using win7 until I couldn't play games I wanted to play, and I plan to do the same for win10
OK, this of course doesn't apply if there's some Windows program that is mission critical for you, but I just replace Windows with Linux. You can even try running your Windows program under Wine or CrossOver
