My friend is organising a Repair Day in #Granada this Saturday. If there's anyone out there who needs stuff fixed, or believes in the circular economy & the right to repair & wants to show support, please come, boost & share.

I'm hoping to bring some goodwill, screwdrivers, soldering iron, & a couple of USB pen drives (for anyone who wants to renew a no longer updatable Windows 10 or MacOS PC with brand new Linux).

If anybody knows businesses that must upgrade to Windows 11 and has to "dispose" of their computers, please let me know. I want to refurbish them with Linux and give them back to people who might want them and cannot afford a new computer.

If you're in the NYC tri-state area or PA, please let me know.

@Endof10 #EndOf10

It's 14 October … but #EndOf10 is not ending. We now have another 12 months and we are only getting started! 🚀

#Microsoft has delayed #Windows10 End of Life to 13 October 2026.

They say it is "free", but really it's at the cost of your data while tying you to a corporate ecosystem. It'll only be harder later when the time comes to move on.

Why wait to try 🐧 #Linux? Find a place/event near you to liberate your hardware today: https://endof10.org/

Big tech outlets need to stop treating the #EndOf10 as a "throw away your perfectly good hardware just because one company won't support the OS it came with anymore" and actually give more effort into showing how to install Linux. Ffs, I know there are a few people who rely on applications that aren't on Linux, but there are solutions to get these running in VMs and you won't need to trash your hardware with Linux.

Unless you really want to, of course. (1)

Si t'es libriste/linuxien militant c'est maintenant ou jamais. Va au plus vite au #repairCafé du coin. J'en sors : des hordes, DES HORDES de mamies en galère, prêtes à t'écouter et recevoir ton aide bienveillante

Donc au lieu de tenir la nième permanence du club #linux entre convaincus qu'ont déjà migrés pré-calvitie ou de troller sur LinuxFR. VA VERS ELLEUX faire triompher la cause pour de vrai. SORS DU MILIEU LIBRISTE.

En 20 ans, y'a jamais eu une telle opportunité

#endOf10

People who've switched older, less tech savvy relatives over to Linux (specifically #LinuxMint), what are you doing for ongoing tech support? Would you recommend #TeamViewer? If not why and what would you recommend instead?

#AskFedi #EndOf10

Just to brighten up your day, #endof10 refugees. Cool Canadian grandpa advises you to move to Linux!

P.S. I love those old-school Youtube vlogs when people just recorded some video about what's happening in their lives and put it on the Internet.

@yala Was soll ich sagen. Archinstall macht die Sache ja einfach. Beim ersten Versuch habe ich ein Häkchen bei der Festplattenverschlüsselung nicht gemacht. Das war alles.

Das alte Notebook fühlt sich jetzt aber richtig neu an. (Nein kein #endof10 !) Bin mal gespannt wie es auf Dauer so läuft.

How about we rebrand #OpenBSD 7.8 as #Windows12 to give #endof10 refugees the upgrade they didn't know they needed

Using Inkscape today to do a quick redesign of a flyer for our local UpCycling project to assist folks with the installation of GNU/Linux. I love this application. #FreeSoftware for the win!

Best used on GNU/Linux but if you're stuck using Windows or a Mac you can also get it for those platforms.

Some recent thoughts on two (semi) failed attempts to help my elderly inlaws transition to Linux from Windows and MacOS, why I failed to help them, and what it means about this moment in computing.
