School is updating to windows 11. Thier old 'made for windows 8 (not windows 8.1. Windows 8) laptops are being thrown out. I gladly rescuced a few.
Poor things were running windows 10 until last week
That’s a fun box of goodies
Me at my tech job frothing over the old laptops I’ll “dispose” of
Wouldn’t that be something if that is also the day that SteamOS and HL3 comes out? One can dream.
What’s happening on Oct 14?
Windows 10 support ends and many are suggesting that instead of people moving to Windows 11, many will just move over to Linux
Hi, it’s me. I’m one of those people. Currently test driving OpenSUSE Tumbleweed in KDE Plasma on an old Chromebook. Liking Linux well enough so far, and i have no special fondness for windows. Just need to find/learn Linux alternatives or work arounds for a few key things, like Cricut and SketchUp. Then I feel like I could easily switch over my main machine and never look back.
It’s not about people trashing/selling old ThinkPads because Win10 support ended?
Personally never realized what October 14, 2025 was about until just now but your explanation makes more sense … and it also make me realize that I should be looking for another thinkpad in the near future.
Have your Craigslist’s bookmark ready ;)
Large corps likely have extended windows support so you might not see a large computer dump into the market. But it’s worth keeping an eye out.
