Ich empfehle @linuxmint allen, die ihren bestehenden #Computer weiter nutzen möchten und sich weigern, ein tadellos funktionierendes Gerät nur deshalb zu "entsorgen", weil #Windows 11 nicht darauf laufen wird.

Nicht, weil Mint die beste "Variante" (Distribution, oder "Distro") aller Zeiten ist, sondern weil es eine gute ist, die Windows ähnelt und den Umstieg erleichtert.

Ich weiß, nach dem Einstieg werden sich viele irgendwann umsehen und auch andere Distributionen ausprobieren.

Wer Hilfe von Gleichgesinnten beim Umstieg auf #Linux benötigt, findet sie möglicherweise ganz nahe, in der eigenen Region. Einfach mal den Ort suchen, unter endof10.org/

I'm recommending @linuxmint to those who want to keep on using their existing #computer, and refuse to dispose of it just because #Windows 11 won't support it.

It's not because Mint is the best distro ever. It's because it is a decent distro that resembles Windows and will make the change easier. I know those using it will eventually look around, and possibly try out other distros.

If you need help with installing #Linux, you may be able to find a helping hand in your region: Search at endof10.org/

Support-Ende für Windows 10: Millionen PCs betroffen

Mitte Oktober stellt Microsoft die regulären Sicherheits-Updates für Windows 10 ein. Erstmals können auch Privatnutzer an einem offiziellen Verlängerungsprogramm teilnehmen. Experten empfehlen dennoch ein Update. Von Jens Eberl.

I love this channel, it creates pure awe for phenomenal engineering.

I do wonder, is the whole world still (basically) depending on this single company from the Netherlands (ASML) to supply the most high-end lithography machines? Or are there others who by now are able to produce sub-5nm lithography machines?

I had to #Fix my #Computer's #Keyboard yesterday. The big [ ENTER ] was stuck, some metal brackets came loose causing the key not coming back up again. I saw screws on the back of the keyboard and thought I could simply get them out and it would open.
Silly me...

This keyboard had — and I kid you not — 15 (fifteen!!) screws to loosen, 5 hidden. Who the fuck is designing such a shit??😡

I remember a time when only 4 screws had to be put out, and everything was falling apart on itself...
