If you have had enough of Microsoft like I have then you may be looking for an alternative, for users who are being left behind with windows 10 unless they buy a whole new computer for winblows 11 then Linux is a great alternative to save money as it's free, saves carbon emissions and best of all it respects your privacy https://endof10.org/
You can continue to enjoy your computer for many more years to come without Microsoft!
Wayland 1.24 offiziell veröffentlicht – Fokus auf Feinschliff https://fosstopia.de/wayland-1-24/ #LinuxDesktop #Wayland #WaylandDisplayServerProtokoll
After 5 years of daily-driving Linux, I finally made a video breaking down my full workflow — the tools I use every day and why I stick with them.
Arch Linux, Hyprland, Jellyfin, Logseq, Zen Browser — minimal, efficient, and self-hosted where it matters.
Would love your feedback, it’s my first video!

Thinking of switching to Linux...
I've read that it's more flexible in terms of "modifying" open source softwares (mainly photography) to have my own versions and simply has more freedom. Since I discovered these softwares I never looked back but I'm a Windows user my whole life.
What's a beginner friendly version of Linux you advise me to give it a go ?

So we all have used Windows, right. I have a Digital license for both that are tied to my account. But we all have paid for it and I'm sick of the choices that Microsoft has made. Microsoft: "Yeah let's bake in Ads and USELESS AI in the product our users pay for"
yeah I won't be using that. I still love Windows deep down, but that's Windows 10. Too bad it's not getting supported unless you pay for ESU. I'm gonna use Linux on PCs in the future.
In my opinion: Fuck Microsoft and Win11.
