Or it could finally be the Year of Linux.

Like seriously, wtf, it's like the author has no idea that anything but Windows can be installed on a PC.

Welcome to the Linux community.

So in 2025 Microsoft will finally upgrade PCs to Linux? Great!

I could upgrade to Windows 11 but I refuse to. It looks ugly and I don’t want any of the new features. I’ll stick with Win10 LTSC until I can’t and then switch to Linux.

Ugly? It's 99% the same... Like I understand the new features thing... but the style and so is basically identically to 10.

That 1% bugs me enough that I really don’t want to upgrade. Silly reason, I know. I’ll be dead and buried before I let them give me rounded app corners!
