Instructions unclear, now I’m using the Windows terminal to launch Ubuntu and also have it running in Hyper-V. How does that help me if my windows is out of support? /s
On the one hand, rare Microsoft w to help users transition to their competitor.
On the other, they kinda yadda yadda over probably the biggest and most important part: choosing which of the billion distros is best for your needs and preferences…
The distro choice isn’t that difficult, as if you have experience with Linux you know what you need, and if you don’t, just choose any beginner-friendly distro (probably Ubuntu flavors and Mint).
It would be funny if they struck a deal with Canonical to start offering an upgrade to Ubuntu 24.04 using some of the same dark patterns they use with Windows 11
I mean, what do you expect them to say?
“Time to install Linux, here’s how you chose a kernel:”
Well …

If I was responsible I’d learn about that stuff now but that sounds like an October 13 problem tbh
What is October 13, besides being the day before my birthday?
Oct 14 is last day of support for security updates without paying extra.
Oct 15 will be the day of Linux for sure
