It’s almost like the good ol’ days of install fests and the like! ‘End of 10’ is an organization that’s making it easy for Windows 10 users with computers that can’t upgrade to Windows 11, to install Linux instead of sending good hardware to the landfill.
Lol there is a pc with win xp at my job that is offline but its the only pc left with software we need. Apparently it won’t run on new stuff. I call bs but its survived this long somehow.
Question is has the company who made the software gone bust and is the software so nieche that no one else has made a replacement?
Its software for a very specific widget that is still sold internationally from a vendor. Ppl could theoretically buy it directly from the vendor but we want to keep the premium i guess. once a year we get into problems with the widget and no one seems to know how it works. Like how? We sell hundreds a year. In fact it is so problematic we tell people to have the vendor service it than having our team do it. What a joke. Feels like massive bs that gets swept under rug every time.
