    My 15 yr old Win7 laptop needs replacing. I think I need to move to Linux, to avoid the Windows11 subscription, AI features and telemetry nonsense.The new PC will also needs to r/w discs, or have a box to RW discs, as I have CDs and DVDs that I still want to use.Should I get a refurbished laptop / mini PC / normal PC, with Win10 and install Linux? I will be a complete Linux newbie so simple answers, please.#computing #linux #win10tolinux

    Microsoft is killing Windows 10 and for many countries and users, updates will stop today. It is time to look for options.@brucelawson has a suggestion for you. IMHO there are many Linux distributions to choose between and you will need to choose the one that works best for you.I recently switched to Linux as my primary platform myself.My plea, however, to the Linux community is to make it easy for people to switch to Linux, but also to make it easy to switch window managers, key chains and the like. I switched to Ubuntu myself and I am finding certain things with Gnome were a pain. Thus I tried switching to KDE, but found that broke a lot of things. IMHO we should strive to make it easy for users to switch between window managers and desktops as well as applications, without breaking things. That requires the different players to work together to ensure that switching from one desktop to another, for example, does not need to mean loosing passwords. Locking in is one of the things Big Tech is known for. Linux should not have that, IMHO.#Windows #Windows10 #Linux #computing #Technology https://brucelawson.co.uk/2025/goodbye-windows-10-hello-zorin-os/
