Windows Is NOT A Viable Option!
First, Windows 10 won’t be updated anymore after October 14, 2025! You can still use it, but there will be no more security fixes. Second, Windows 11 cannot be installed on most computers that are still in use in the USA today. Why? Because they are too old! Either they don’t have a TPM chip, don’t support UEFI, or both. Third, because Windows 12 is going to have CoPilot (Microsoft’s AI assistant) completely integrated with the entire operating system! This means CoPilot cannot be removed or turned off!
Unfortunately, CoPilot will automatically report any “misuse” of your computer to the proper authorities, based on the goals that Microsoft trains it to recognize. In short, if you still value having ANY privacy, then you should immediately abandon Windows, because Microsoft does NOT want you to enjoy ANY privacy!
For many years now, I have recommended Linux Mint Cinnamon as my favorite Linux distro. But since LMC delivered a very bad update quite recently, I’ve done quite a bit of testing of other distros and selected a new favorite distro to recommend to my clients. The new distro I’m recommending is called “Pop!_OS,” and it is made by System76.com.
I specialize in helping my computer consulting clients make a smooth, successful switch to Pop_OS! For only $80, I will come to your home or office, back up your existing user files, install Pop!_OS, restore your user files, and provide you with one hour of training on your new OS. Since a “house call” is $60, that means you are getting 3 hours of my work for only the remaining $20! And you won’t find a better deal anywhere in the whole USA than that!
By the way, I charge $300 to install fully licensed Windows 10 and 11, but I will never install version 12 of Windows on ANY computer! Why not? Because Windows 12 represents the evil principles that are invading our society, and I won’t support that in ANY WAY! See the advantage of using Linux?
My business slogan is “When You’re With Us, You’re Family!” We take that message very seriously! Don’t know how to do something in Linux? We’re a quick and free phone call away to help you “get it done!”
So, there’s no need to stress over losing your privacy! We’ll help you retain at least some of it! Sorry, we don’t have any Linux-ONLY privacy phones yet… but I’ll let you know if we find one that is practical, low-cost, and actually available!
There are a few so-called Linux-ONLY phones out there, but the prices range from $1,200 to $9,000, and they are unlikely to arrive for at least 3 months, if EVER! So, in my opinion, it’s not a great idea to buy one just yet.
Give us a call anytime…we are here to help you!
