Can Windows 10 Users Easily Transition to Linux? Watch This BEFORE Ditching Microsoft!

With the end of support for Windows 10 near at hand and Microsoft limiting Windows 11 availability to newer PCs, there is a HUGE population of people with older computers who are wondering what to do next. Do they just keep running Windows 10 without support and risk the security vulnerabilities? Do they knuckle under and pay Microsoft more money for one more year of updates? Or do they give up on that older PC and shell out the big money for a new one?

It's a tough list of choices. Adding to that list is the recommendation, usually made by PC enthusiasts, to dump Microsoft altogether and install Linux in that older computer. Of course, there are many benefits to Linux, like the fact that it uses fewer system resources and is free, but can your average Windows user comfortably make that change without feeling lost?

Remember, the vast majority of Windows users aren’t looking for a new hobby, they just want an operating system that will work without a lot of fuss. They don’t want to learn what a ‘repository’ is, or be forced to memorize a hundred different Terminal commands. What they want (I’d assume) is a Windows-like experience without the expense, the bloatware, the privacy concerns and the incessant advertising.

So for that user, can Linux be a useable option? Or is the learning curve just too steep? In this video we're discussing what Linux is and who it may be appropriate for. We're also going to have a tour of the Ubuntu Linux desktop, do some customizations to it to make it more "Windows like" and look at what's involved in installing and using applications on the platform.

Tune in to find out if Linux is the solution for you!
