Staying on an old and unsecure OS sure is a solution, but it's incredibly fucking stupid.
At least you could install Linux and use an old Windows version inside a VM instead of running a vulnerable system on bare metal. That way you can still use Windows when you need to.
Linux works fine on older machines and can give them new life.
I recently had to use a smart phone that is over 10 years old (Samsung Galaxy S5 mini) and believe it or not, YouTube and Facebook Messenger still worked. It was slow a hell but it still worked fine.
My experience with Arch and BTRFS has been nothing but great. If my system break I can just roll back a snapshot.
I avoid Debian, Ubuntu or other distros that hold back package versions because that's where the problem starts in my opinion. I shouldn't have to use workarounds to install the packages I want. Arch with the AUR just work so far.
But if you can't run Windows 11 then you're on your own once the support for 10 stops...
What's the point of staying with Windows 10? You're just pushing the problem further ahead in time. You might as well start leaning Linux now, instead of waiting til you have no other choice.
I am from Sweden. You are correct that my country has many different parties that together form a governing coalition.
Thank you for making it a bit clearer to me! I appreciate it.
I don't understand how the Democrats in USA can be considered left-wing. Sure, they are more left than the Republicans, but in my eyes they certainly not left-wing.
I personally don't trust Google and Chrome enough to use it and I don't like the Manifest V3 stuff, but I am interested to stay in the loop. Please post updates!
Make a custom boot entry and enter through it. Then refind should be able to generate new ones after your first boot. That's how I do it on a stock arch install with rEFInd, LUKS and btrfs
In Sweden it can be illegal to drive too slowly. You're not allow to hinder trafic and should follow the speed limit. At the same time we have tractors and vehicles that are only allowed to drive in 30km/h but they require a special sign on the back to signal to other people that it's a slowly moving vehicle.
It's however incredibly rare that anyone gets a ticket for driving too slow.
I am not sure if it required a blob or not but I use an ASUS USB-BT500 on my Arch system and I only installed the bluez package for it to work (and bluedevil for the GUI on KDE).
