Mainstream news: you could install Linux to deal with Microsoft stopping support for your computer.
I wasn't expecting that.
> by continuing to use Windows 10 you will put yourself at risk of cyber-attacks, data theft and scams. ... One solution is to install Linux, which is a family of free operating systems that come in various flavours or “distributions”.
There follows instructions for Ubuntu.
@neil It does beg the question though, when should operating system vendors stop supporting older systems? Even the #linux kernel has stopped supporting various x86 CPU architectures now, and while arguably #microsoft 's approach is far from satisfactory, at some point maintaining older operating systems becomes untenable, even on Linux. I think a lot of the upset over Windows 10 has been pushing what some see as unnecessary hardware requirements (e.g. TPM 2.0)
