       Microsoft wants 2025 to be the "year of the Windows 11 PC refresh." They want up to 400 million perfectly good computers running Windows 10 to become e-waste. Why? So Microsoft can have their cake ($140-$200 for a Windows 11 license) and eat it (your data) tooIt's time to switch sides, and break away from this cycle of endless upgrades. Our new guide walks you through installing a Linux-based operating system—keeping your computer secure long after Microsoft walks awayhttps://www.ifixit.com/Guide/How+to+Install+Linux+on+a+Windows+PC/196722

       @iFixit And any Linux distro will be so slimmed that U can easily keep using Ur old pc for another 10 years. Just bought y first new pc. a latpop. And installed Linux on it. Just realized that I payed $140-200 for windows11Why can't I buy a new pc without paying for a windows license?shops should be able to sell them with or without Windows.They should have empty PCs on the shelves.Prices with and without OS.

       @iFixit $140-200 for Windows. that is outrageous.I had forgotten about it. Made me look for laptops without OS. Not easy to find. And it seems like they too are overpriced.Not as I can find an empty laptop with a $140-200 discount.

       @gustavo_rezende @iFixit Zorin OS actively persecute people who try to compile the source code of their distro. They consider it as "pirating" they're as sane as microsoft so screw them.
