Tired of Windows? You’re Not Alone.
Linux is faster, safer, free — and easier to get into than you think. I’m Marty, and I help everyday people across the Greater Toronto Area make the switch without the headaches.
Windows 10 Is End of Life. Now What?
As of October 2025, Microsoft no longer supports Windows 10 — no security updates, no patches, no protection. Millions of perfectly good computers are suddenly “obsolete” according to Microsoft, and upgrading to Windows 11 isn’t even possible on many of them.
But here’s the thing: your computer isn’t obsolete. Windows just wants you to think it is.
Linux runs beautifully on older hardware, costs nothing, and doesn’t spy on you, push unwanted updates, or pressure you into subscriptions. It’s what your computer deserves.
Why Make the Switch?
🐧 It’s Free No license fees, no subscriptions, no surprise charges. Linux is free to use, free to share, and built by a global community of people who genuinely care about it.
🔒 It’s Secure Linux is far less targeted by viruses and malware than Windows. With regular community updates and no end-of-life surprises, your system stays protected.
⚡ It’s Fast Even older computers come alive on Linux. Say goodbye to sluggish boot times, background bloat, and forced restarts at the worst possible moment.
🛠️ It Just Works Modern Linux distros like Linux Mint and Zorin OS are designed to feel familiar to Windows users. If you can use Windows, you can use Linux.
🔓 You’re in Control No telemetry, no forced updates, no Microsoft account required. Your computer, your rules.
🤝 Local, Friendly Help You’re not alone in this. I’m right here in Ontario, ready to help you every step of the way — in plain language, no tech jargon required.

- You get back to living — With a faster, safer computer and me on speed dial for any questions.

A Linux User Since 2001
I made the switch from Windows XP out of pure frustration — and never looked back. Over 20 years later, I still love everything Linux stands for: free, open, community-driven, and built for people, not profit. I started Switch2Linux because I know how good this can feel, and I want more people to experience it.
