End of 10

Support for Windows 10 ends on October 14, 2025.

Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer.

But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?

If you bought your computer after 2010, there’s most likely no reason to throw it out. By just installing an up-to-date GNU/Linux operating system you can keep using it for years to come.

Installing an OS may sound difficult, but you don’t have to go it alone! With any luck, there are people in your area ready to help :)

End of 10 is a project to help you do just that.

5 Reasons to update your old computer with GNU/Linux software

1. It’s waaaaay cheaper
   A new laptop costs money, a lot of money. Repair cafes will help you, often for free. Software updates are also free, forever. Show your support for both with donations!
2. No ads, no spying
   Windows comes with lots of ads and spyware nowadays, which will slow down your computer … and increase your energy bill.
3. Good for the planet
   Production of a computer accounts for 75+% of carbon emissions over its lifecycle, and yet we throw away functioning devices because of software, unnecessarily.
4. Community support
   If you have any issues with your computer, the local repair cafe and independent computer shop are there for you. You can often find community support in online forums, too.
5. User control
   You are in control of the software, not companies. Use your computer how you want, for as long as you want.

Convinced?

Then find your closest repair cafe or independent computer shop and enjoy a brand-new, old computer!
