Microsoft has been insisting that migration to Windows 11 is the solution at the end of Windows 10 technical support that will happen on October 14, 2025. Not everyone agrees and believe there are other alternatives more effective and profitableespecially those that arrive from the open source such as Linux.

The Great Community of the Open Source is adopting an aggressive attitude to respond to the campaign (no less aggressive) that Microsoft has been promoted for months perfectly valid for computer tasks, Go to trash.

Migration to Windows 11 or alternatives?

A few weeks ago KDE, responsible for one of the best desktop environments for Linux, supported the project under forceful arguments: “Update your software, not your team … Your team is sentenced … Do you run Windows 10 on your team? On October 14, Microsoft wants to turn it into garbage ». «You will be forced to spend the money that cost you so much to win and, unintentionally, you will contaminate the land and water while your old device rots in a landfill. The air will also be contaminated with the emissions derived from the manufacture and sending of a new device that you really do not need … even if you accept this technological extortion now, in a few years they will repeat it as they have already done many times in the past ».

Now, with similar arguments, The Document Foundationcreator of the open and free office suite LibreOffice (alternative to Microsoft Office) has also joined to support the ‘Endof10’ initiative. The Foundation writes that «It is not necessary to follow the Microsoft update process. There is a better option than Returns control to users, institutions and public agencies: Linux and LibreOffice. Together, these two programs offer a powerful alternative, respectful of privacy and with future guarantee to the Windows + Microsoft 365 ″ ecosystem ″.

The Foundation indicates the real costs that this migration has to Windows 11. «The update is not just about security updates. Increase Microsoft dependence through aggressive cloud integration, forcing users to adopt Microsoft accounts and services. It also generates greater costs due to subscription and licenses models, and reduces control over the operation of the equipment and data management. In addition, the new hardware requirements will leave obsolete millions of PC in perfect condition ».

For the person in charge of LibreOffice the end of Windows 10 does not mark the end of the election, but the beginning of a new era: «If you are tired of mandatory updates, invasive changes and to be subject to the commercial decisions of a single supplier, it is time for a change. Linux and LibreOffice are ready: 2025 is the perfect year to choose digital freedom!«

The Document Foundation It emphasizes that Linux + Librteffice constitutes the backbone of a free computer environment based on open standards. For private users, public administrations, schools and companies, this combination offers more than enough: «It is mature and safe, and is already used worldwide for critical work loads. In addition, the use of open standards protects users from any attempt to control by software developers ».

They also point out that replace Windows and Microsoft Office is not as difficult as it seems, The A NOL INDIVIDUAL NI CORPORATIVE. Many organizations from all over the world have already done so, and many others plan to do it, “Precisely because they no longer want to be subject to Microsoft’s commercial strategies and their partners”.

Finally, the Foundation explains that although Microsoft is forcing users to act, a door also opens. «It’s time to question their assumptions and Recover control of your personal computersits useful and, above all, of the management of its content »they conclude.
