Anyone still defending Microsoft at this point has cognitive dissonance and deserves what they get. Seriously people - just use Linux. And for the 1% of you that can’t get that 1% of your programs working in Linux - just dual boot.
It’s like people forgot how to use computers.
What am I dual booting if I can't use win10 because it's not secure, and I'm not paying for win11?
If whatever programs you need don't require internet access and you aren't at risk of evil maid attacks then it hardly matters if win10 isn't secure. It definitely isn't ideal, but if the options are:
A) Do all your personal stuff on linux and only boot w10 when you have to, offline.
B) Only have w10 and run hope.exe for security.
I'd choose A.
Fuck dual booting. Virtualize that shit.
Or that, but I'm told some things don't play well in VMs like arcane peripherals.
