No, the police will show up at your door on October 11th and arrest you on the spot.
If you're in the US you'll be sent to El Salvador. If you're anywhere else you'll be sent to the US, receive a few tattoos, then El Salvador.

Can I pick the tattoos?

You can choose between Microsoft, Tesla, Google, Amazon, or Blackrock.

Blackrock makes some decent funds, I'll take that one.

Ms will stop supporting windows 10. Windows 11 has hardware requirements for a specific security chip and processors with specific features, so upgrading components isn’t an option.
If you have an old pc you can’t easily upgrade. Theres ways of forcing it to work but it’s not supported.
A lot of businesses will be getting rid of their old pcs so they dont need to deal with the hassle.
Linux will still support and run on the older hardware, so a lot of people are expecting used hardware prices to drop.

And thanks to Proton you can now do pretty much everything that you can do on Windows. Unless you do graphics design.

That’s definitely been true in the past, but the gap’s narrowed a lot. GIMP (with plugins) and Krita cover most Photoshop-style workflows, and Inkscape does a pretty good job with vector work. For many graphic design tasks, Linux has solid native tools now—just takes a bit of adjustment if you’re used to Adobe.

GIMP is nowhere close to Photoshop in usability. Don't know about others.

I have people complaining about simple UI changes. Proton isn’t going to fix that.

Yes. They also added an option to pay for patches.
