Microsoft wants you to throw Windows 10 for Windows 11 but the end of 10 thinks Linux is a better option
With Microsoft finishing support for Windows 10 in just a few short months, the company is busy trying to get the user to update directly on Windows 11, or buy a new system – ideally a Copilot+ PC.
It is clear that Microsoft would prefer Windows 10 users to switch to Windows 11, but this is not far from being the only option available. A team of Linux enthusiasts has joined at the end of the 10 project, whose goal is to promote Linux as a logical replacement for the unsupported Windows 10.

The end of the 10th is not associated with any special Linux distribution, and the team is made up of individuals associated with GNOME, KDE and part of the Linux community. There are various reasons for creating the project and running a campaign to promote Linux, no less important for which it is a desire to discourage people to throw away perfect service PCs.
The argument is that only because your computer is unable to execute Windows 11 (or maybe you just don’t want it), it doesn’t mean it can’t run a modern, fast and safe operating system. The website for the end of the 10 project says:
If you bought your computer after 2010, most likely there is no reason to throw it out. Only by installing an updated Linux operating system, you can continue to use it for the years ahead.
Installing an operating system may seem difficult, but you don’t have to do it alone. With any fate, there are people in your area ready to help!
There is a lot of a sense of community for the project. Aware that many people have left the Linux switch because of a perceived difficulty to do so, the site helps to place potential Linux adopters in contact with individuals or groups that can help create them.
The arguments for the passage to Linux are endlessly expressed, but the 10th end puts them once again for good measure:
- Is the cheapest waaaaay
A new laptop costs a lot of money. Repair cafes will often help you for free. Software updates are also free, forever. You can certainly show your support for both of donations! - Without ads, without espionage
Windows comes with many ads and spyware nowadays, slowing your computer and increasing your energy bill. - Good for the planet
The production of a computer accounts for 75+% of carbon emissions during its life cycle. Keeping a longer operational device is an extremely effective way to reduce emissions. - Community support
If you have any problems with your computer, local repair coffee and the independent computer store are there for you. You can also find community support in online forums. - User check
You are in software control, not companies. Use your computer as you wish, as long as you want.
It is difficult not to feel touched by the feeling of the community and the society that this project exists – even if you cannot be interested in Linux and you do not intend to change. This is people who seek to help others and share their passion for something; There is something beautiful about it.
