hi, I'm a widow and i have duel a Window 10- Linux Oct 2019 machine, that was my husband's gaming machine. I will soon-or-later have to move to it, my old machine is starting to act poorly, though, I've kept it up. (except for updating Linux!) I need to know how to update both machines - I will use this old machine as backup and switch to his machine for my primary. I've been in this pickle since he died in 2020... can you tell me how and where to educate myself to the point that I can update (esp) the Linux side without fear that I am going to wreak everything. I've just got a few questions about how to load the New Linux in the right spot without destroying the duel machine Grub (???) aspect. In short, Where do I start? The Irony is, I'm not entirely ignorant. All I will do when they stop updating Windows 10 - same thing i did when they stopped updating Windows 7. I stopped using the windows side except for some few programs that I liked. I'd like to Try Wine again, that would free me from the Tyranny of MS, entirely.. How deep into the Linux side do i need to dive to master updating?

I am not onboard with ARM graphics just yet. I like higher end Nvidia graphics. I haven't seen anything real about desktop configurations yet.

Or use Linux, the tech equivalent of DEI/Woke.

I was used to the VERY simple Zone Alarm on Windows and GUFW on Linux firewall GUIs. I'm on Fedora now, and the GUI for Firewalld is an unholy nightmare.

They need to spy on users so force them on win 11 that screenshot you every 2 sevo da and send it to ms. The new copilot "feature"

Since Windows 3.1 in 1992 the Windows operating system has been bulling it's customer base. I will disconnect one PC from the internet to run my few key Windows programs. For internet use I will use Linux or Mac. My hardware has yet to hit its physical limits yet Windows 10 is limiting all functionality. Most features that limit my computing experience I have no use for. Windows XP was the best, F Microsoft.

What to do? I'm still using 7. I will not upgrade. Once I saw how integrated the spying windows 10 and 11 is in newer computers and how any update you make can re-enable spying you thought you'd disabled without you knowing it had been turned back on, yeah, no, microsoft can stay out of my data.

I have an Asus Titan gaming lap: 64-bit Intel i7, 64 gigs of RAM. Does NOT qualify for upgrade to Win 11. I also have a Lenovo Flex 5 lap: 64-bit Intel i5, 16 gigs of RAM. NO PROBLEM, upgraded to Win 11. What. The. F??? Microslop has a screw loose, and they're using it on me!

I thought I heard Windows 11 on my newest HP will require biometric in lieu of a password? Does anyone know if this is optional, or required, now?

Microsoft's greatest contribution to the world maybe the electronic waste it creates.

Great set of options. I got a message saying my machine is too cr*p to install Windows 11. It was originally a Windows 7 machine refurbished. My plan is to replace the Windows 10 machine with a refurbished Windows 11 one. A local guy sells them for the same cost as extending the support that you mentioned over 3 years. I have over a year to think about it. But looking more and more like replacing with a refurbished machine is the best for myself

Windows 10 2021 LTSC IoT isn’t quite bad. Or Windows 10 LTSC 1809 for older PC, remove the defender if you don’t want it.

I think it's the end of Windows. It's so over bloated with junk it won't do a job which shows the priority wasn't to make a stable operating system to run software it was to cram MSNBC down your throat and spy on us with our computers. It's junk, if AI designed that it's already a loser.

Windows security updates do NOT make your computer more secure. They just choose which criminals to allow in (FBI, corporate partners), and which to block (low level Romanian hackers).

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 *💻 Introduction to SysVinit and Systemd* - SysVinit was the traditional init system in Linux, responsible for system initializationd managing services. - SVinit had limitations, such as its serial execution model and lack of support for dependencies and parallel startup. 00:44 *🗺️ The Boot Sequence and Init Process* - The boot sequence starts with the BIOS/UEFI, which loads the bootloader, which then loads the kernel. - The kernel starts the init process (PID 1), which is responsible for system initialization and service management. - The init process can be different systems, like SysVinit, Upstart, or Systemd. 01:53 *🔍 The Functions of the Init Process* - The init process handles the later stages of the boot process, configures the system environment, starts processes for logging in, and cleans up after terminated processes. - In the pre-Systemd era, the init process would inherit orphaned processes and try to shut them down. 03:47 *🕰️ The SysVinit System* - SysVinit, also known as SysV or System V, was the traditional init system used in many early Linux distributions. - SysVinit organized the runtime environment into a sequential set of stages called runlevels, which had to complete before the next one could begin. - This sequential execution model led to slow startup times and issues with dependencies and conflicts. 09:41 *🔀 Alternatives to SysVinit* - After the limitations of SysVinit became apparent, alternative init systems emerged, such as OpenRC, Upstart, and Systemd. - OpenRC introduced parallelization and improved dependency management, while Upstart was developed by Canonical for Ubuntu. - Systemd, developed by a Red Hat engineer, aimed to address the shortcomings of Upstart and became widely adopted in the Linux ecosystem. 16:46 *🌐 The Systemd Init System* - Systemd defines services as "units" and allows for more flexible and dynamic management of dependencies and system state. - Systemd replaces the runlevels of SysVinit with "targets," which group units together to define specific system states. - Systemd is designed to be more responsive to changes in the system environment and can start services based on events, not just a predefined order. 24:28 *🌟 Pros and Cons of Systemd* - Pros: Faster boot process, more flexibility, standardized configuration files, and additional advanced features. - Cons: Concerns about feature creep, potential security risks due to running as a user process, and violation of the Unix philosophy. 27:08 *🗺️ Critique of Systemd's Design Approach* - Systemd's design approach has limitations, particularly in its tightly coupled nature and interlocking dependencies. - Tightly coupled systems are undesirable as they make it difficult to integrate with other applications and are prone to breaking. - Systemd's "all or nothing" strategy makes it challenging to replace or use it partially. 27:48 *🧪 Potential Issues with Systemd's Adoption* - Systemd's tight coupling to the Linux operating system may create challenges if Linux were to decline in the future. - There are ongoing concerns about the support and security of Systemd as it has grown increasingly complex. - The departure of Systemd's lead developer, Lennart Pottering, to Microsoft raises questions about the future direction of the project. 29:38 *🛠️ Systemd Configuration and Resources* - Systemd provides flexibility in configuring various components, such as setting up custom targets, units, and configurations. - The best manuals on Systemd are available in the Red Hat repository, which can be used as a resource for further exploration. - The speaker encourages the audience to explore the Systemd topic further by checking the recommended resources.

End of support? Which support? That thing restarting my machine without consent and asking if I want to go to Win 11? Yeah, no updates for me. I also use Linux already since 2001 so I am not that concerned.

'what to do'? class action lawsuits if MS starts to charge to 'extend life'.

I'm going Chrome!

I use EndeavourOS (Arch-based, btw).

This is not only attractive for laptops, it will create a significant wave of affordable mini Pcs in the popular NUC form factor.

Ill run windows for games only, and Linux for everything else. I would move totally away from Windows if not for the games...

I better brush up on linux again. O joy.

I meet all of the hardware requirements by a mile for 11 (7800x3d, 64gb ram, 7900xt), I won't be upgrading. When support ends next year, I'm swapping straight to Linux, I'm willing to bet the software support for popular Linux distributions (mint would be my first choice) will increase 10 fold with the influx of new users by then.

I am getting sick of Windows killing off their product to FORCE people to WASTE MONEY on its replacement.

Switch to Linux.

This is what I needed to finally make to push to Linux. I've had it with Microsoft and their sticky fingers stealing all my data

Just got a 13 year old PC and the processor has 4 cores but PC health check says it doesn’t have enough cores hmmm….

You can take disconnect your computer from the internet and still use it as I do for my own personal business. I still have my collection of desktop computers running Windows 95, Windows NT4.0, Windows 98SE, Windows XP and Windows 7 and two old desktops are dual-booted with Linux. Now I will watch the video.

I switched to Linux more than 20 years ago. I haven't regretted that decision, at all!

I'm sure sooner or later Gates will bring out version 12 and then lucky #13. Great business plan. Almost as good as Apple's. Another one of my favourite companies. 😤👎

I thought 10 was new....and the last.

Most of my frustration comes from the fact that I'm a game developer, so working in Linux is a frustrating experience for me, so I'm bound to use Windows. Can't even use the ESU, because it doesn't include any other updates, and it'll quickly become too outdated for game dev

BITE THE BULLET, MOVE TO LINUX NOW, AND JUST DITCH MICROSOFT. One caveat: most colleges and universities and many companies "standardize" to MS Windoze. Period. I ran into that in 2010 when I went back and completed an old bachelors degree I left hanging when I joined the service, learned electronics, and changed career tracks. That was 2009 to 2011, and I got around it with a few rough spots. In 2020 I went back for another degree, this time in chemistry. It was worse. Using non-MS text editors, I could not even see some of the graphics in the labs, so many of my molecular drawings were incomplete. No way to complete a lab without the drawings upon which the instructions are based. You can sort of work around some of this by using a computer at the university library to print your labs (or other graphics-containing files) to PDF format. Usually. However, even in Windoze I prefer Libre Office, but it is NOT always 100% MS Word, Excel, etc compatible, but it is FAR better than several years back. My current version of Libre Office WILL read and save Word files in .doc and .docs formats and Excel files in .xls and .xlsx formats. However, it's default is the Open Document Format (ODF). This means Open Document Text (.odt) and Open Document Spreadsheet (.ods), etc. I believe Word and Excel can both use .odt and .ods formats, but I try to save files fron Libre Office as .doc/docx or .xls/xlsx for MS tool users. Where problems most often crop up is in graphics. So be prepared to deal with graphics issues if you use Non-MS tools in college. If you have the option, renting or purchasing a basic tablet or laptop running MS apps might be best. Most schools seem to offer such a program through their bookstore or library.

Linux is my plan !

Just stop using Edge and trying Brave as a more simple browser, so far so good👍

I'm making Linux my daily with my next build. end of life on 10 and screenshotting on 11 makes Microsoft a security threat.

So it's a forced spyware and a paywall punishment. My pc Can't run win 11. I need new motherboard and processor. My pc can run Star Citizen and aa games, but because Mic want to install AI keylogger on us all, and make us purchase a required level of expensive and marked up hardware....

End of Support: Windows 10 - What to do Answer: Linux

Problem is, Windows11 is awful AF

Windows EOL = Linux SOL

So excited to see this as my laptop cannot support Windows 11, and cannot upgrade its CPU in order to satisfy Microsoft's minimum requirements! :(

I am learning so much from your videos, they are great. Congratulations!

I'm swapping my W10 to Linux. I've no more excuses, I have another device to run W11 now which I hardened.

Win10 is my last MS platform. It will be a pain, but I should have done it years ago. After OVER 45 years on an IBM/MS platform, I'm going to transition to Linux. No more MS. Bill Gates is only interested in injections and bugs these days anyway.

Windows 7 was best and most robust OS Microsoft (named after Bill Gates' willy) ever made. They should have just left it ALONE!!

What if we let Windows 10 run out but have the latest anti-virus/VPN etc installed, would that negate vulnerabilities?

Can I still use my reaper software DAW if I change over to Linux from windows
