I got an email about support ending in October 2025; isn’t this still extremely early? Aren’t they usually about two or three versions of windows down the line before they end updates?
I don’t want windows 11 (and no I don’t want Linux either, knock it off); this is ridiculous.
There’s no reason security updates can’t be a total scam but also still be necessary. Just like a protection racket, if you don’t pay the protection money, you will get beaten by some dude with a baseball bat. The solution is to go somewhere else where “protection” isn’t really needed, at least nowhere near as much, or to get protection from someone who provides it for free to all in the community.
Security updates are free.
The only reason the ppl I pointed the op at exist doing them for two bucks a month is because after ltsc expires ms is gonna stop.
You’re literally in a place where protection is needed. A federated platform where you self identify as a person of interest.
