  • I’m very surprised I have not seen a peep of this on FB. Quite a few of my friends are very anti-Trump and post any bit of negative news that pops up, usually within a day or so, but I have yet to see it there, which leaves me questioning if Meta is actively blocking this story.















  • Okay. Serious question here. How long are they supposed to support it for? Windows 10 came out 10 years ago. To look back during that time:

    • Ubuntu 16.04 LTS - released 4/2016, EOL 4/2021 (5 years)
    • CentOS 7 - released 7/2014, EOL 6/2024 (10 years)
    • Mint 18 - released 6/2016, EOL 4/2021 (5 years)
    • Debian 8 - released 5/2015, Extended EOL 8/2022 (7 years)
    • Fedora 24 - released 6/2016, EOL 8/2017 (1 year)

    So with the exception of CentOS, Linux has less time before it EOLs, and if you want you can always move to a newer version, but at some point a newer version may not support older hardware. Case in point 6.15 removed support for 486 chips, which you may argue is old, but someone will say the same thing “it’s still a perfectly usable computer”
