It’s almost like the good ol’ days of install fests and the like! ‘End of 10’ is an organization that’s making it easy for Windows 10 users with computers that can’t upgrade to Windows 11, to install Linux instead of sending good hardware to the landfill.

I'm doing my part!

I've loaded Mint on my prime system and a laptop, another laptop with Fedora, Manjaro on another main system I test with and EndeavorOS on all my media systems. I've also loaded about 8-10 other distros on Proxmox to play/test with.

Where I had doubts on whether I needed anything off of the old MS system, I P2V'ed the OS and spool it up on Proxmox if needed to review any history within the OS/browser.

I still have a couple of W10 VMs lingering and a Windows server. I'll "upgrade" the workstation VMs to W11 (and shut them down) since I have the license and I can see sometimes having to use Windows for whatever dumb reasons. I'll leave the Windows server for now to maintain the domain as that allows me to block telemetry with GPOs. I may tire of that at some point though as MS will further wane away on my network.

My summer task is to convert all my 'Arrr software over to Linux versions. Still on W10 there. Wasn't sure which distro to go to for that....
