Feeling stuck between sticking with Windows 10 or buying new hardware for Windows 11? There's a better option: GNU/Linux. It's free (as in freedom), works on most PCs, and respects your decisions.

Rentiers, who cannot fathom a world beyond their corporate sharecrops..
I used to wonder why it's so hard to talk people off of Windows or Mac, but their whole life is held hostage by these companies. They don't even recognize it. 🤷
Folks, I know… I use Duck Duck Go also but remember they have venture capital. Enjoy it while it lasts (or let’s fund and build alternatives differently that aren’t temporary businesses with profit motives and exits but commons-owned institutions working for the common good).
