"I can still remember when I decided to install Linux on my very first computer (a Pentium 75). I'd been using Windows 95 and found myself more frustrated than not. I was experiencing constant blue screens of death, couldn't make the OS behave how I wanted, the software was expensive, and I hated the way it looked. So, I installed Linux over Windows, and the rest is history. I've been using Linux as my operating system of choice since then,"
"Microsoft is taking this one step further with Windows, as it has announced that it's removing the last remaining workaround for signing into Windows with a local account. What that means is, to log into Windows, you have to have a Microsoft account. To me, that's a huge privacy red flag. Imagine every time you log into Windows, the company has access to daily telemetry."
Windows 10 support has ended, making Linux a practical alternative for many users. Linux can extend the usable life of older hardware and improve performance while offering full local-account control and greater privacy. Many users encounter frustrations with Windows stability, software costs, and forced account sign-ins. Microsoft is removing workarounds for local accounts in Windows, requiring Microsoft account sign-ins that enable telemetry and targeted ads. Linux distributions allow local accounts without telemetry, reducing data exposure. Users can try Linux without removing Windows to test compatibility and workflow before committing to a full switch.
