Windows 10 End of Support - October 14

As for Linux not forcing a sign in - REALLY ??? - every single time I installed Linux you HAVE to create an account and enter a password. Some you can tell it to auto log in some not.

I don't think you read what I said properly, I meant Linux does not force you to make some kind of online account, given the article was about forced online signups, and I said Linux doesn't force you to do anything of the sort...

One thing is "interesting" Lots of places ( Forums, FB- Linux Groups)  are NOW getting a LOT more errors showing up from new users running into all sorts of install troubles and many other problems  --  The Standard response to anyone asking for help  is install ( insert different distro) -- Thats NOT help !!

I think a source of this problem is the same thing - more new users are coming on board, but don't have the technical understanding to troubleshoot the system, so they just use a different distro, and often, it does solve their problem, and then they suggest this to everyone else.

Just as well Linux is not a car, one small problem, no help or stupid responses, so get a new car.   Saw a video a while back, regarding Linux change overs. Hits the nail on the head. https://youtu.be/S5qDCIn9yYQ?t=1120

Point in FACT on the old PF1 - all the people pushing Linux suddenly shut up and disappear when someone asks for help with whatever problem.

As for the other -- signing in, you dont HAVE to have a MS account to sign in. Thats the same sort of thing as Linux, generally when you shut down it by default ( every Distro I tried anyway) counts down from 30 seconds. BUT if you know how you change settings and it shuts down right away.

For Servers and such (ZimaOS) its fine, but still not really for non technical users. The Ubuntu Servers I have and ZimaOS run flawless.
