Support for Windows 10 ends on October 14, 2025. Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer. If you bought your computer after 2010, there’s most likely no reason to throw it out. By just installing an up-to-date Linux operating system you can keep using it for years to come.

Installing an operating system may sound difficult, but you don’t have to do it alone. With any luck, there are people in your area ready to help! Find someone to help you.

    I think you didn’t get my point. I meant in Windows I have to fight to install the printer, but in Linux I can’t even do that because Linux is too good and handles the printing perfectly for me.

    That said if what you are suggesting is we could create issues in relevant repos to make the hardware install process in Linux more… interactive like it is in Windows, with an assistant that tries in vain to download drivers from the internet, a “shield” that asks you to load the drivers from a floppy disk A:\ and that needs a hardware reboot every time you plug in a new USB mouse… hmmm… maybe you are on to something.
