I dunno about that exact cursor but you can have a look here to see if any catch their eye.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Plan for Windows 10 EOL and discounted old laptops
1·23 days agoNever tried any of this before, I’ve barely touched Windows (outside of work) since 2023.
But a few of the more tech savvy people I know had done clean installs of Windows 10 LTSC IoT and recommended it.
So I just launched a VM and started looking stuff up to see if there was a way of doing it without needing a clean install. Because seems most people I know are more willing to risk running an EOL OS than actually backup their shit…

8·24 days agoYou can use regedit to make the LTSC IoT installer think you’re already on an LTSC IoT build so it just installs without doing a clean install.
I first learnt about it from this Youtube video but they only show how to get the base LTSC version and not IoT which will get updates until 2032.
Here’s the values I used.
“CurrentBuild”=“19044” “CurrentBuildNumber”=“19044” “EditionID”=“IoTEnterpriseS” “ProductName”=“Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021” “ReleaseId”=“2009” “DisplayVersion”=“21H2”
I have them in a registry script along with txt guide I’ve been sending to my friends. Not sure if I can directly post them here however.

17·24 days agoYou can convert existing Windows 10 installs to LTSC or IoT, Without losing files. I’ve been helping a few people I know switch over the last few days.
I would obviously like it if more people moved to Linux, but most people I know ain’t gonna more because of certain software…okay it’s mainly Fortnite and Call of Duty. >.>
I’ll help anyone with it who actually wants to try Linux, I got at least one person to try dual booting.
I also used Notepadqq for the first year I used Linux, I ended up switching to Kate since it did everything I liked about Notepad++ and it came installed with my KDE desktop soooo.
Also for the few times I gotta use a terminal text editor I use Micro (It really should be the default instead of Nano)
Only thing I know about Ladybird is the lead dev didn’t want to include gender neutral wording in the documentation, because he “didn’t want it to be political”
That’s kinda old news now and not sure if anything came of it.
Should note EndeavourOS is just Arch with an easier installer and slightly pre-configured with common dependencies installed out the box.
EndeavourOS + KDE is what got me daily driving Linux and even after using vanilla Arch for 2 months at one point, I went back to EndeavourOS because it was just less hassle.
