Cybersecurity firm ESET is urging Windows 10 users to upgrade to Windows 11 or Linux to avoid a "security fiasco" as the 10-year-old operating system nears the end of support in October 2025.

"It's five minutes to twelve to avoid a security fiasco for 2025," explains ESET security expert Thorsten Urbanski.

I started duel booting with Linux over the weekend so I can ease myself into outright switching. Unfortunately I'm stuck with Windows 11 for my work computer and it's honestly surprising how bad it is for productivity. All the bloatware, notifications, and unnecessary addictions/changes makes working with Windows 11 frustrating. I'm sure it's decent for gaming and general use, but when I have to use it for actual work it's a significant downgrade. Plus it's getting significantly harder to use the software that I need for my job. I've had to start going into the registry and download 3rd party software just to do my job. And don't even get me started on Microsoft 365.
