KDE creates a safe haven for Windows 10 exiles.

In the context of the @Endof10 campaign, we have created a new "for" page, this time "for Windows 10 exiles":

https://kde.org/for/w10-exiles/

In it we explain how Linux with Plasma can help users escape the deranged cycle of having to buy a new computer every time Microsoft force-upgrades their operating system.

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] Usually I'm all in favor of campaigns designed to make people get rid of Windows I'm not a big fan of how the Endof10 campaign is run.

They do not recommend any specific distribution. Instead they literally say "Search for Linux distributions for beginners to get some suggestions."

A search query like this will make you end in SEO hell and you will not any good suggestions. Please actually recommend a few distributions for you campaign instead of leaving the most important step very vague.

On top of that it talks about Linux and not GNU/Linux, while also avoiding mentioning the issues of software freedom.

For what it's worth, I just switched from Windows 10 to Fedora KDE Plasma and it's been perfect so far. Only hurdle was windows kept corrupting the flash drive I was trying to make until I figured out the right order to do everything. Now I can make it so that when I close a window it bursts into flames and disintegrates, awesome.
