Cybersecurity firm ESET is urging Windows 10 users to upgrade to Windows 11 or Linux to avoid a “security fiasco” as the 10-year-old operating system nears the end of support in October 2025.

“It’s five minutes to twelve to avoid a security fiasco for 2025,” explains ESET security expert Thorsten Urbanski.

    Please bro, update to windows 11.

    Linux isn’t just a 5 minutes upgrade either.

    Windows, what a joke OS.

      I think that blurb is referencing the Doomsday Clock:

      the Clock is a metaphor, not a prediction, for threats to humanity from unchecked scientific and technological advances. That is, the time on the Clock is not to be interpreted as actual time. A hypothetical global catastrophe is represented by midnight on the Clock, with the Bulletin’s opinion on how close the world is to one represented by a certain number of minutes or seconds to midnight, which is then assessed in January of each year.
