Cybersecurity firm ESET is urging Windows 10 users to upgrade to Windows 11 or Linux to avoid a “security fiasco” as the 10-year-old operating system nears the end of support in October 2025.
“It’s five minutes to twelve to avoid a security fiasco for 2025,” explains ESET security expert Thorsten Urbanski.
Well, in this instance this is relevant, because most computers existing today (that includes older ones) do not fit the system requirements to install Windows 11 without TPM hacks. Most of them can run Linux, though.
But yes, the amount of Linux-everything is overwhelming on Lemmy, and I can absolutely see how it can hurt the community and its members.
