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.

Yeah, don’t get me wrong it’s been mostly good but I made that choice at the time because it was a relief to see Intel finally getting some actual competition but there was some stability issues early on and I got burned on the back end with the TPM support.

That said, I can’t complain too much. 1800x and a 1080Ti still work perfectly fine for most things and the only “problem” is the lack of Windows support from Microsoft that could be worked around (for the time being).

Oh well it made me install Linux for the first time since 2012 and I’ve found I like it more anyway. Silver linings.
