Isn’t that just the standard MS has had for extended security updates for long? Basically just “fuck you if you don’t want to upgrade your old ass system we’re gonna charge for maintaining that shit”
I mean I get it, though understand why people don’t want to hop to win11 but get on Linux then bitch

This isnt available to individuals anyhow, only to schools and businesses.

It’s actually available for individuals now, the first time Microsoft has done this. Though it isn’t clear if Home versions most individuals would have is included, or if it’s for the Pro version only.

Nah, I would rather use free Linux.
- maxprime ( @maxprime@lemmy.ml ) 5•6 hours ago
It’s actually incredible how good Linux is, and it’s entirely free. No ads, no bullshit, just a rock solid OS. It’s staggering how small a proportion of people use it.

It’s amazing how much better an operating system can be when it’s built by the community.
