Re: Microsoft Windows Deadline—10 Days To Update Or Stop Using Your PC

[Snyder, Alexander J]

It was the release of Windows Vista that first pushed me to embrace Linux
full time. I've gone through cycles here and there, and although my primary
PC is a Windows Surface Pro tablet, my entire homelab is 100% Linux/BSD.

Small side note, Windows 11 isn't as awful as I had originally thought, and
WSL is surprisingly functional. One could very easily operate entirely in
WSL for a great majority of the day-to-day operations. The newest 24H2
update integrated SUDO, which is really amazing!
