You might be familiar with “Sudo” if you’ve used Linux-based Distro or Linux on a server or have a macOS. The Sudo command in Linux or macOS allows modifying system files, changing system settings, system-wide updates and more. The same command is now heading to Windows 11.

The end of #Windows 10 support could turn 240 million PCs into e-waste

source: https://www.canalys.com/insights/end-of-windows-10-support-could-turn-240-million-pcs-into-e-waste

Canalys estimates that in the nearly two-year period until #Microsoft’s official end-of-support date for Windows 10 – 14 October 2025 – roughly a fifth of devices will become e-waste due to incompatibility with the Windows 11 OS. This equates to 240 million PCs. If these were all folded laptops, stacked one on top of another, they would make a pile 600km taller than the moon.

Choose your #Linux #distribution with many questions and extensive, confusing and partly outdated results

Choose your Linux distribution: https://distrochooser.de/en <- you can change the language at the top right.

I do think that the right questions are asked, but it is unclear to me how these are then weighted in the results. If I indicate that I like to be anonymously but #Tails is then listed quite far down in the results, I am misled as a beginner. I also selected that I have a fairly old #computer and yet distributions that no longer support 32-bit were recommended to me quite high up.

The idea is good. The implementation lacks a weighting of the questions for the result and an update of the database.
