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

    Switched to Linux seven weeks ago on my daily driver laptop.

    Since then, I’ve got my wife on Linux, my TV’s mini PC on Linux, my desktop system on Linux, and a spare laptop on Linux.

    Thanks for being greedy, unethical assholes, Microsoft! And I was one of those users who PAID for a Windows license. Great job! 😘
