Cybersecurity firm ESET is urging Windows 10 users to upgrade to Windows 11 or Linux to avoid a "security fiasco" as the 10-year-old operating system nears the end of support in October 2025.

"It's five minutes to twelve to avoid a security fiasco for 2025," explains ESET security expert Thorsten Urbanski.

JFC...

Lost your dog? Try Linux. Wife divorcing you? Maybe try Linux. Just got fired? Believe it or not, Linux.

Well, in this instance this is relevant, because most computers existing today (that includes older ones) do not fit the system requirements to install Windows 11 without TPM hacks. Most of them can run Linux, though.

But yes, the amount of Linux-everything is overwhelming on Lemmy, and I can absolutely see how it can hurt the community and its members.

First day on Lemmy?

I wish, then I wouldn't have seen this 10 thousand times. Any thread even remotely tech related devolves into a sea of try Linux comments.

If there was a one size fits all solution to every tech issue, it wouldn't need prosletyzers because everyone would already be using it lol
