Software can be free of charge
Free Software is a term for software, which is free of charge. Open Source software is free software, where someone can edit and change the source code.
The Linux Operating System is free software and open source. Other samples are MySql, WordPress, Apache, LibreOffice, Joomla, Magento, Gimp, Thunderbird, Firefox, Java, Android and the all distributions like Ubuntu, Linux Mint and MX Linux.
This software is developed by many developers around the world, which mainly get not paid. The software is massively tested by test teams and the community. Therefore this kind of software is much better than commercial software.
Linux & Co.
Linux is provided as a so called distribution. These distributions contain the operating system and numerous free tools such as an office suite, browser, email, graphics and video programs, chat tools, high quality games and much more. These distributions can be downloaded and installed.
You can install Linux by yourself. Save the downloaded iso image on a USB stick, install and set it up on your computer yourself. This is no big deal, if you are familiar with computer administration. For most people this is however maybe not a viable option. Simply puchase the DFK-Soft Linux Stick with shipping all around the world or contact for support.

Windows 10 ends with October 2025
After that there are no more security updates. The system is then vulnerable to hackers and viruses. After careful consideration Windows 11 is the best reason to switch to another operating system. The many disadvantages of Windows 11 have been discussed in detail in many articles.
Compliance with the GDPR, data security and controlling data flows to and from your computer are important issues. Windows 11 does the opposite. The layout, user interface and setup options have also been changed significantly, in my opinion not for the better. Functions like ReCall together with the built-in AI are scary: screenshots are constantly being taken, analyzed by the AI and saved. It’s total surveillance!
The way out is switching to Linux, now. There are distributions which can be installed in minutes, are easy to setup and have a great user interface. If needed there are also Windows-like interfaces like shown with Linux Mint or MX Linux. If you just want to get away from Windows, then take one of these distros, download it, save it onto an usb stick, boot and learn how easy it is to work with Linux. If you need assistance then contact me.
The switch is particularly worthwhile for small businesses, self employed people and freelancers. Private individuals can easily switch to Linux too. Schools and other institutes can immensely benefit from the many advantages of Open Source software. Contact via phone or mail.
