Petition demands that Microsoft extends Windows 10 support

OS-as-a-service needs to be made illegal, ffs

Actually I'd prefer a petition for Microsoft to drop Windows support entirely.

Just switch to Linux, guys. You can do it!

They really should. Windows 11 has the bullshit "requirement" of needing SecureBoot so it can't work on BIOS motherboards, only UEFI ones. This is different than saying you no longer support 32 bit CPUs. There's no reason to require fucking SecureBoot. Seriously. It's like someone saying they won't sell you a TV if your house doesn't have a lock in the door and then advertising their TV as secure because of that.

If Win11 didn't fucking go "naw bro you don't have a LoJack on your motherboard so no install" I'd be like whatever but since it does they need to keep supporting it for at least a decade or remove the Trusted chip requirement. I know you can bypass it, but nobody in business is gonna do that and neither is Grandma.

“Please sir, could I have some more?” - windows user

“Huh, what?” - Linux user

Considering it should have been the last Windows ever... Yeah.

Linux is something I've tried to switch too a few times but but the cost of lost software would make it a more expensive choice than windows. Its gotten better and more things work but I'd still be losing some stuff I use quite often, both games and tools for work.

Haha, translated petition demands Microsoft earns less money and loosens up control over their users. Ain't happening.

or, you know, just switch to linux. several distros are basically just as usable out of box as anything microsoft has released.

These people... install linux! Your computer aren't made to run just one single OS.

You know when you have an issue with your Linux so you air it on a public forum and are overrun with useless comments that you should switch to Arch because it's so much better and you're stupid if you don't?

Yeah.

My PC doesn't fill the requirements for windows 11 and yet it was trying to update to it. (I7 2600 works fine, but not supported)

Installed Ubuntu and just didn't look back

I'm still on Windows 10. Are the complaints people have over windows 11 overblown or valid?

I understand the CPU hardware limitations due to Spectre/Meltdown issusles, but at the same time it is an ecological disaster. Two decades ago you would ditch your hardware frequently, simply because it could not run any new application. Now I have systems which do have more than appropriate computing power for my specific tasks and are forcefully obsoleted. They should at least extent Windows 10 critical fixes until 2030.

I believe the situation will cause to Windows 10 to become the next Windows XP immortal ghost for quite some time.

I’m not a windows user but it seems every time there’s a new version people swear they’ll never use it and that the old version should be supported forever… and then eventually that “horrible” version becomes the next version that people won’t let go of… Are you guys okay?

Microsoft be like: Windows 10 Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC)

Remember when Windows 10 was gonna be their final OS?

Accidentally read petition as putin lol

There is LTSC that has longer support cycle.

I am too. Well, dual-booting. My PC doesn't have TPM and I'm not upgrading my hardware just to accommodate Microsoft's nonsense so I'll just keep running 10 until the wheels fall off.

Just use Linux... It's not that hard.

Linux and Wine and no need for W10

Windows 10 came out in 2015, 10 years seems like a plenty decent lifespan.

Windows 11 came out in 2021, so 10 users will have had 4 years to upgrade.

Slaves will be slaves.

Why blud even uses windows 10? its worse than win11.

IT'S DEAD LIKE YOU WILL BE. MOVE ON.
