The #Windows10 EOL shows the real cost of proprietary lock-in. You are forced to upgrade your hardware despite a working machine. As an option you can "subscribe" for security choosing extended security updates... for $30/year per device. Users are left choosing between security risks or unnecessary e-waste. This shouldn't be the case.

The Windows 10 EOL isn't a technical limitation - it's a business decision. And it's time we questioned whether that's the computing future we want.

Meanwhile, in the parallel FOSS universe...

I switched to Linux three years ago, and would highly recommend you do the same. Linux is free, actively maintained, and hardware-friendly. It gives you full control over your system and data. Currently I'm using Linux both in my private and professional life and it's fully covering all my use cases. I'm really impressed how good the user experience delivered by @gnome is.

Break free from #Windows vendor lock-in.
