If you’re planning to abandon Windows 10 when Microsoft ends support, the sensible advice is not just “pick a Linux distro” — it’s “pick the right one for your skills, hardware, and use case,” because some distributions are effectively designed to be a learning project rather than a drop-in...

Microsoft’s Office 2024 is real, shipping as a buy‑once desktop suite with updated apps, clearer system requirements, and a complicated relationship with AI — but claims that you can “download Microsoft Office 2024 full 32 and 64 bit, activated for life” from third‑party sites are both...
