It’s too late, it’s pretty much done.

The system I have is running Win10 Education, which is still updating, has no bloat ware and I’m having no issues with.

Others in the house have PCs with Win11 and they hate it. This and the outside world has shown me where it’s going and I’ve had a gutful of Americans and their shit so whatever I can break from of theirs I’m doing.

So next system of mine, which will probs be an old Thinkpad, will be a Linux machine and every one after going forward will be.

    Linux has come a long way in the past few years. I only just started using it like maybe a year and half to 2 years ago and even since then I've noticed how much easier it's become to use for an average user. Distros like Fedora KDE, Bazzite, CachyOS, etc have made the entire thing so much more user friendly. especially Desktop Environments like KDE Plasma which has also improved massively in the past year. Even the recent release of GNOME 50 is quite good and that's coming from someone who doesn't even like GNOME.

    If you’re still getting updates that has nothing to do with being on the Education edition. Updates ended last October for that same as other editions. You can subscribe to the ESU any number of ways or use the LTSC version but that’s completely different.
