It’s almost like the good ol’ days of install fests and the like! ‘End of 10’ is an organization that’s making it easy for Windows 10 users with computers that can’t upgrade to Windows 11, to install Linux instead of sending good hardware to the landfill.

Long story short, my Dad just got a new computer. (His old was was actually really old, but he could have used Linux.)

Anyway, I told him not to throw out the old computer and that I would take it. He was baffled that I would want it or could even do anything with it.

I am going to set it up as a backup server in the house for my parents and myself as it will be a nice way to have an offsite backup for free.

So many use cases! I'm giving an old NUC to a kid at work who's learning Linux. Jesus, the kid bought a copy of Linux from "the best/most-famous hacker in the world!". We had a come-to-Jesus talk about that horseshit.

Unbelievable. Linux sellers deserve the death penalty. /s (mostly...)
