Maybe they were referring to the Microsoft Halloween documents? Which were leaked on October 31 and was basically a manifesto against FOSS in general and specifically against Linux calling it “communist” software.
Instructions unclear, now I’m using the Windows terminal to launch Ubuntu and also have it running in Hyper-V. How does that help me if my windows is out of support? /s
On the one hand, rare Microsoft w to help users transition to their competitor.
On the other, they kinda yadda yadda over probably the biggest and most important part: choosing which of the billion distros is best for your needs and preferences…
I mean, what do you expect them to say?
“Time to install Linux, here’s how you chose a kernel:”
Well …

If I was responsible I’d learn about that stuff now but that sounds like an October 13 problem tbh
Get that dual boot going, you can learn now and switch later.
You’re right, I was just reluctant because my PC is really old and I was worried adding more stuff would just make it even more sluggish.
I asked my favorite AI and it told me not only was that wrong, but the opposite is probably true lol
I got a dual boot going so I could try Linux and have a windows fallback. Mint went so smoothly for me I never used my windows boot.
Same. I took the plunge a few weeks ago and have been super happy. Got my wife switched over too, now just my kid is left
What is October 13, besides being the day before my birthday?
Oct 14 is last day of support for security updates without paying extra.
Oct 15 will be the day of Linux for sure
