I got an email about support ending in October 2025; isn't this still extremely early? Aren't they usually about two or three versions of windows down the line before they end updates?

I don't want windows 11 (and no I don't want Linux either, knock it off); this is ridiculous.

      I've got fucking Tux Racing, and every time I boot it up my screen starts flickering and my cd-tray starts opening and closing so fast, the friction starts making smoke and triggering a full scale evacuation.

      I fucking love ubuntu

      I just wish the GIMP devs would change that stupid name. Half the reason I'm recommending Krita instead these days instead is because I don't feel comfortable saying "gimp" in polite company. Don't get me wrong, I love transgressive art, I'm no prude. But I think it's time to advance beyond juvenile humour when naming general-audience programs like this.

        I could probably call it GNU Imp, which stays on brand with other GNU packages. Imp is still kinda awkward but at least it's not a sex joke.

        It's sad because the mascot for the program is really cute.
