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)
