Support for Windows 10 ends on October 14, 2025. Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer. But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again?

If you bought your computer after 2010, there’s most likely no reason to throw it out. By just installing an up-to-date Linux operating system you can keep using it for years to come.

Installing an operating system may sound difficult, but you don’t have to do it alone. With any luck, there are people in your area ready to help!

5 Reasons to upgrade your old computer to Linux:

  1. No New Hardware, No Licensing Costs
  2. Enhanced Privacy
  3. Good For The Planet
  4. Community & Professional Support
  5. Better User Control

          You don’t need SteamOS to play games via Steam on linux. Just use any linux distro (preferably one that supports newer gaming hardware), install Steam, go to Settings > Compatibility and “Enable Steam Play for all other titles”. There’s a drop-down that let’s you choose different Proton Versions (some work better than others, hence the config-reviews on ProtonDB to see what works).
