With Windows 10 reaching end of life in October 2025, millions of users face an unnecessary upgrade cycle. But there's a better way—one that avoids forced obsolescence, respects user freedom, and revitalizes aging hardware.
In this hands-on workshop, participants will learn how to install openSUSE on their laptops or desktops, replacing Windows 10 with a modern, secure, and community-driven operating system.
Whether you're helping a friend migrate or switching your own system, this workshop equips you with the practical skills and confidence to make the move.
What to bring:
A laptop (preferably running or previously running Windows 10)
A USB stick (8 GB or more)
Optional: External drive for backups
Ideal for:
First-time Linux users
Admins and educators helping others transition
Anyone tired of planned obsolescence
Let’s make the end of Windows 10 the beginning of something better.
