With support ending for Windows 10, the most popular desktop operating system in the world currently, possibly 240 million pcs may be sent to the landfill. This is mostly due to Windows 11’s exorbitant requirements. This will most likely result in many pcs being immediately outdated, and prone to viruses. GNU/Linux may be these computers’ only secure hope, what do you think?

    I feel like most of these computers are underpowered and worthless to most people outside of a web browsing machine. Which is fine I guess if you don’t have a computer at all. But when some of us are rocking six or seven computers in our house, do we need anymore?

      My 4th generation Intel processor is still chugging along in my gaming PC. I’ve had it in there for almost 10 years and it’s still fine for new games. I also edit videos on it. It’s absolutely overpowered for most people today and it would still be fine for most people’s uses in 10 years from now.
