El final se acerca, el final se acerca… el final del soporte para Windows 10… y como parte de la comunidad Linux podemos ayudar a los afectados.

El 14 de octubre, termina el soporte de Windows 10, dejando a los usuarios de equipos antiguos o poco potentes tres opciones:

• Sufrir un bajo desempeño (SI es que el equipo cumple los requisitos mínimos para Windows 11)
• Pagar por soporte y continuar usando Windows 10
• .Comprar un equipo nuevo y más potente.

Como usuarios de Linux, sabemos que no son las únicas opciones, Linux ofrece un rango de opciones que cubre virtualmente cualquier gusto personal y equipo. KDE, fuente de uno del los escritorios principales1 de Mageia, tiene un atractivo sitio multimedia2 para aquellos que estan por ser abandonados por Windows.

Expone los argumentos para pasarse a Linux, con Plasma y el universo de software KDE como alternativa. El sitio presenta las modernas características de KDE-Plasma, las ventajas del Software Libre y de Fuentes Abiertas, y compatibilidad con archivos creados por software propietario. Es un gran recurso que los miembros de la comunidad Mageia pueden presentar a sus amigos y colegas que enfrentan «el fin». Y desde luego como mageitas, podemos proporcionar el enlace junto con ayuda para configurar Mageia.

Si no usa Plasma o no cree que es lo adecuado para sus amigos o los equipos de sus amigos; El sitio también ofrece enlaces a otros escritorios populares y, al final, un enlace al sitio Endof10, que también es hospedado por KDE. No solo ofrece argumentos para cambiar a Linux, también proporciona una guía para la selección de sistema y, lo más importante, sitios al rededor del mundo donde se puede encontrar ayuda con el cambio.

Como usuarios de Mageia sabemos que ofrece toda la belleza y potencia de Plasma y el conjunto de programas KDE. Hágale a sus amigos, familiares, colegas y vecinos un favor, no solo compartiéndoles estos sitios (y desde luego el de Mageia), muéstreles Plasma u otros escritorios en acción en su equipo. Oh, y si quiere volcar una imagen Live en una memoria USB, puede incluso enseñarles Mageia en acción EN SUS equipos.

Para nosotros es obvio que ¡Mageia 9 > Win10, no es un error!

1. ¡Sorpresa!: ¡Tratamos a todos los escritorios como principales! ︎
2. Note que los videos de KDE requieren habilitar DRM ︎

The end is coming, the end is coming…the end of Windows 10 support, that is…and as part of the Linux community we can help those affected.

As of 14 October support for Windows 10 will end, leaving its users of older, less powerful machines three choices:

• Suffer slower performance (IF their machine does at least meet the minimum requirements for Win 11)
• Pay for support to continue with Win 10
• Buy new, more powerful equipment

As Linux users we know that these are not the only choices, Linux offers a range of options to suit virtually any personal taste and computer. KDE, source of one of Mageia’s flagship1 desktops, has an attractive multimedia website2 for the about-to-be orphaned Windows users.

It lays out the case for switching to Linux, with Plasma and the KDE universe of software as the alternative. The site presents the modern features of KDE-Plasma, the advantages of Free and Open Source Software, and compatibility with files produced by proprietary software. It is a great resource which Mageia community members can offer friends and colleagues facing “the end”. And, of course, as mageians, we can provide that link along with an offer to help them in getting set up with Mageia.

You do not use Plasma or do not think it is right for your friends or friends’ machines? The site also offers links to other popular desktops and, at the end, a link to the more general Endof10 website, which is also hosted by KDE. It not only offers the arguments for switching to Linux, but provides guidance in choosing a system and, most importantly, places around the world where people can find hands-on help in making the switch.

As Mageia users we know it offers all the beauty and power of Plasma and the KDE suite of programs. So do your friends, family, colleagues and neighbours a favour by not only sharing these sites (and, of course, Mageia’s), but also showing Plasma and/or other desktops in action on your machine. Oh, and if you want to write a Live ISO to a USB stick, you can even show them the Mageia we use every day in action on THEIR machines.

To us mageians it is obvious, that Mageia 9 > Win10 is not a typo!

1. Surprise: we treat all of our desktops as flagships! ︎
2. Note that the KDE videos require having DRM enabled ︎
