Support for Windows 10 ends on October 14, 2025. Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer. But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?

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!

5 Reasons to upgrade your old computer to Linux:

  1. No New Hardware, No Licensing Costs
  2. Enhanced Privacy
  3. Good For The Planet
  4. Community & Professional Support
  5. Better User Control

    Thanks. So just use official Nvidia drivers and I’m good to go? Thinking of moving to fedora if it maters.

      Yup, the official driver is your best option for gaming. No experience with fedora here. I think they use wayland instead of X11 by default, right? I know that wayland had a tough time with Nvidia gpus. No idea if anything has changed in the last two years.

      I started with Bazzite and moved from there to Garuda. Both have an Nvidia version that just takes care of that for you. I’ve never had to worry about drivers.
