Flyer for the End Of 10 campaign. The background colors are a mix of blue and purple, with blobs of green on the edges. Tux, the penguin mascot of Linux, is visible in the lower right corner. Top left: End Of 10 logo of four boxes falling over. Under a QR code is the website URL https://endof10.org. Top right: The title "End Of 10: FOSS Instead Of Toss". The text on the flyer reads: """ Support for Windows 10 ends on October 14, 2025. Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer. But what if you make your existing one fast and secure again? If you bought your computer after 2010, there's likely no reason to throw it out. By installing an up-to-date Linux operating system, you can keep using it for years to come! Installing an operating system may sound hard, but you don't have to do it alone. There may be some people in your area who have volunteers to help! Scan the QR code or visit the URL above to find someone to help upgrade your system to Linux. Five Reasons To Upgrade To Linux: 1. No New Hardware or License Costs 2. Enhanced Privacy 3. Good for the Planet 4. Community and Pro Support 5. Better User Control """

Word of the Day: 'Keener' 📚

In Canadian slang, a 'keener' refers to someone who is extremely eager, enthusiastic, or keen to achieve something, particularly in academic settings. Similar to 'brown-noser' or 'teacher's pet' but with less negative connotation. "That keener always has her homework done a week early!" 🇨🇦 #Canada#CanadianSlang#WordOfTheDay
