Windows 10 Panic Day!!!

Now's the time to get a new computer. Or to go to some reseller like discountelectronics.com and get a refurbished but Win11 compliant box with the OS preinstalled. Or go Mac. Or go Linux. Or be like me and do ALL of the above.

As for myself, I already got a refurb'ed Win11 box and will convert one of my Win10 boxes to MX Linux, the fastest Linux I've yet experienced. Might do one of the BSD's on the other Win10 box, or make a password crack box out of it. Or offline storage. Or standalone firewall, honeypot or something. Never let an artificially obsolete machine go to waste.

This could be a great opportunity for desktop Linux to make some headway, as I've mentioned here before. Or just give me your old computers and I could open a dispatch room or an insurance agency.
