When Windows 10 goes out of support in October, you can keep using your computer safely by switching to Linux.

Following our busy launch event on the 2nd, Edinburgh Linux Café is rolling out more install parties around the city: linux-cafe.eventbrite.com

Support for Windows 10 ends in October and many will be forced to buy a new computer… I’m putting on an event next weekend to help people save money by switching to Linux: linux-cafe.eventbrite.co.uk

Please share with relatives/friends who use Windows 10 and would appreciate support in upgrading

On the way back home from #Glasgow2024. I attended 23 hours’ worth of events at Worldcon… Wish I’d kept a running total so I could have hit a more satisfying 24

I get Richard Osman all the time. I don’t think I look that much like him, but we do have similar energy. And we both have uncommonly
