The irony with Microsoft business decision here seems limitless. 10-14-25 is the date Windows 10 will no longer be officially supported. This just so happens to also be the date for International E-Waste day as well as KDE's birthday. To me this is hillarious and makes me wonder why the hell Microsoft didn't do even a tiny bit of looking into what else takes place on 10-14. Hopefully this will help 2025 actually be the year of the Linux desktop we've been waiting for!
The 10th of Duember?
The 25th of Quaddecember, 2010
this is the same company that chose build 2600 for winxp, remember.. odds are, someone at microsoft knew of kde's "birthday" when 10's eol date was finalized. i dunno exactly when that decision was made, the first itu 'e-waste day' could have come after that.
