    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/

    @floreana post-edit comment: see, that's your problem, you should be using the US International layout with dead keys ;-)(I joke, you should use whatever you feel most comfortable with, but US Intl has all accent and diacritics available via composition and dead keys. One layout to rule them all.)If you have a Compose key enabled, compose e = should give you the € symbol. Otherwise, you'll need to enable the eurosign:e option for the keyboard layout (not sure how it's done via GUI)

    @sharan then dual booting is going to be a huge PITN if you plan on having Linux as your primary, and the VM solution might be worth looking into. If Windows will remain your primary OS than it won't matter that much.

    After some deliberation I decided to move my development stack from Windows to Linux.

    I have decided to go with Linux Mint. I'm not the biggest fan of debian/ubuntu based systems, as coming from FreeBSD I find the way you configure it odd (I just hate having system config and package config in one folder) and I know it doesn't have all the cutting-edge features, but I have no time to sit around and configure tiling window managers and neovim and tweak around. I just need the OS to work. And it does work!
