Support for Windows 10 ends on October 14, 2025. Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer. But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?

If you bought your computer after 2010, there’s most likely no reason to throw it out. By just installing an up-to-date Linux operating system you can keep using it for years to come.

Installing an operating system may sound difficult, but you don’t have to do it alone. With any luck, there are people in your area ready to help!

5 Reasons to upgrade your old computer to Linux:

  1. No New Hardware, No Licensing Costs
  2. Enhanced Privacy
  3. Good For The Planet
  4. Community & Professional Support
  5. Better User Control

      For games that have that level of ring-0 anticheat I dont see why you wouldnt just use Windows 11 at that point. You can disable the TPM 2.0 requirement at install, and if you have the knowhow to get the IoT/Enterprise LTS version of Win10, I feel like you would be able to bypass the TPM & debloat Win11.
