Microsoft accused of ‘tech extortion’ over Windows 10 support ending in campaign to get people to upgrade to Linux
- KDE has started a campaign to convince Windows 10 users to switch to Linux, criticizing Microsoft's handling of the end of support for Windows 10.
- The campaign accuses Microsoft of 'tech extortion' due to the end-of-life deadline for Windows 10 and the system requirements for Windows 11.
- KDE stated that after October 14, Windows 10 will be unsupported, insecure, and halt app updates, pushing users towards new hardware.
- The campaign points out the environmental impact of replacing older machines, calling it a form of 'unwilling pollution.'
- Criticism towards Microsoft's Windows 11 requirements suggests it could lead to many computers becoming obsolete and adding to e-waste.
- KDE advocates for Linux as a solution to keep older hardware functional and avoid contributing to electronic waste through premature disposal.
- Switching to Linux may pose challenges for less tech-savvy users due to differences in interface, app compatibility, and potential hardware issues.
- While some experienced users may find Linux a viable option, others may struggle with the transition, relying heavily on community support.
- Calling out Microsoft for 'extortion' was deemed excessive as Windows is a paid OS with extended support options available for purchase.
- The campaign aims to capture dissatisfied Windows users but is advised to moderate its language and approach to avoid extremism.
