KDE creates a safe haven for Windows 10 exiles.

In the context of the @Endof10 campaign, we have created a new "for" page, this time "for Windows 10 exiles":

https://kde.org/for/w10-exiles/

In it we explain how Linux with Plasma can help users escape the deranged cycle of having to buy a new computer every time Microsoft force-upgrades their operating system.

Try searching for some distros(versions varying in appearance, etc) pick one that you like the look of.

I recommend:
Fedora kionite
Zorin
(K)Ubuntu
Mint
And many more.
Once you've done this, download something like Rufus or fedora media write (I assume that you are one windows), select the .iso file of the distro (download it first) and flash it to a blank USB drive. Plug it in and reboot your computer.
Press your bios key and install!

Developers do not look for reports on social media, so they will not see it and all it does is clutter up the feed.
