πŸ›‘ Windows 10 support ends on October 14, 2025

Still running it? It’s time to plan your exit.

πŸ’‘ Why not switch to something faster, familiar, and free?

πŸ‘‰ Try Zorin OS – a clean, modern OS built on the rock-solid Debian base.

βœ… Looks like Windows

βœ… Runs smooth on older PCs

βœ… Privacy-respecting

βœ… Easy to install, even for beginners

I’ve tried it β€” and I’m impressed. It’s a true alternative for users who want performance without the bloat.

πŸ” RT if you're planning to make the switch.

No, it’s my OS for my search engine, and I think it is better (you can have a different opinion)

Change to a libre system before you are targeted by even more telemetry (Recall). My last daily driver Windows was Vista and I don't miss it.

Okay @solvecomputerscience ,
Now what's your daily driver and which thing you missed from the vista?

Went through lots of distros (Arch-based especially) and now it's been standard stable Debian for a few years. I don't miss Windows in any way: it has been relegated to virtual machines just for sw testing purposes.

yeah @solvecomputerscience, I also don’t miss Windows! I’ve been using Debian as well. Just curious β€” which Debian-based distro are you currently using?

No, LineageOS. It covers most my use-cases although some apps don't work without G services.

Manjaro Linux offers a user-friendly experience by balancing cutting-edge technology with stability, thanks to its rolling release model and curated software selection. It provides a smooth transition from other operating systems, like Windows, while leveraging the power of Arch Linux. Key benefits include its user-friendliness, extensive software availability, and strong community support

I have been already used ZorinOS for one year. Works nice and build maven projects faster than windows PC. I even installed crossover for using MS Office package (and some simple games like Look outside).

Nice to know you’re on Zorin already @rwilco ! Just wondering β€” which tool did you use with Crossover for MS Office? Was it Wine, Bottles, or some other Windows emulator?

Lol It literally named Crossover, from CodeWeavers. If you google it, you'll find it immediately.
