Sneaky Alternatives to Windows 10 (that you didn't know about)
Today we're picking up where we left off from last week's video on preparing for Windows 10 EOL next year. I'll link it here:
ua-cam.com/video/Uk3B-5tzwYg/v-deo.htmlsi=MO1inhWqReW4KJN_
We're going to explore the process of 'testing' Linux Mint 22 'Wilma' on a Windows 10 Computer to make sure it suits our needs. In preparation for this, we'll download the Linux ISO and download Balena Etcher to flash the ISO on a USB Drive.
After testing, we'll install Linux and install a few apps and take a tour to show the similarities Linux has with Windows!
Please comment on which distros of Linux you've tried and what you use it for and Subscribe to Mackey Tech if you haven't done so already!

But there's hope with new Humbledox™. Humbledox™ is a revolutionary treatment that may help alleviate symptoms of Command Line Complex (CLC). In clinical trials, 78% of patients reported decreased gatekeeping behavior and a 50% reduction in unwarranted feelings of superiority.

Yeah I think Linux Mint will replace many Windows users who are tired of the failed updates and of course the awful Windows 11 which I will skip completely and stick with 10 Pro and I still have a music recording tower with 7 Pro I still use.

      I have used Windows for decades and since they moved to NT kernel, I have not encountered any stability issues, stuck updates or the like. When "Windows crashes" it basically means your hardware is faulty or overclocked too far. The few machines I receive with update issues are drastically underpowered and update took so long Windows assumed something went wrong and returned situation before update. We are talking Celeron-class CPUs with 4Gb on RAM and a soldered USB stick as a harddrive (eMMC) here. People who claim to have Windows issues tend to be Linux users and sometime Apple users. People who actually use Windows are mostly just fine unless they chose hardware poorly.

      A few others mentioned LTSC; I still want to try it out. I'm not so optimistic about Windows 12; it will have tons of AI features which means big brother in my book :). Thank you for the comment!

    Don't forget, your PC that doesn't meet the Windows 11 requirements WILL most likely meet the Latest Linux Distro Requirements. PC's that get pushed out by Microsoft Windows will still run the latest Linux Operating System and will make a great Streaming/Email/Bill Paying, and general purpose system.

    My main PC has no TPM 2.0. My secondary PC has TPM 2.0 but has an old CPU that's not compatible. Won't replace them as they're perfectly fine and have enough horsepower for everything. Maybe swapping the CPUs will enable one of them to upgrade but that would require to move the graphics card aswell, since the supported CPU don't have integrated graphics and the TPM capable PC don't have a discrete graphics card. But that would kill the gaming performance of the main PC... So we're doomed. Maybe MS will extend support at least in the EU as the market share is still huge, i'm sure if it stays that way it would catch the attention of EU.

    Linux Mint with the Cinnamon desktop. A Windows-like look and feel, with Linux privacy and security. Mint is ready to use right after the easy install. Linux hardware issues are a thing of the past. No messing with drivers like with Windows. There's *free* software for any need from office to gaming. Software installs from a "store" much like Android or iOS. Save yourself future headaches and migrate to Linux now.
