As a followup to an earlier blog post at Ubuntu's blog about why those on Windows 7 should upgrade to Ubuntu, the same blog has a post about how to actually do it.
A few days ago, Rhys Davies wrote a timely article, titled Why you should upgrade to Ubuntu. In it, he outlined a high-level overview of what the end of support of Windows 7 signifies for the typical user, the consideration – and advantages – of migrating to Ubuntu as an alternative, and the basic steps one should undertake to achieve this.
We'd like to expand on this idea. We will provide a series of detailed, step-by-step tutorials that should help less tech-savvy Windows 7 users migrate from their old operating system to Ubuntu. We will start with considerations for the move, with emphasis on applications and data backup. Then, we will follow up with the installation of the new operating system, and finally cover the Ubuntu desktop tour, post-install configuration and setup.
The upcoming Long Term Support (LTS) release will have not just the usual five years of regular support but an optional additional five years for those that decide to pay. That would be 10 years starting from April, 2020.

Of course you have not! The main point of political power is the ability to control the past!
Loki Games was a short lived company, porting games to linux. Their major sin was showing that it was possible. They closed shortly after the principal investor started covering payroll with a credit card, which then bounced. If you know anything about Loki, outside of the Marvel Universe, this makes perfect sense. Fear, Uncertainty, and Default. Microsoft will kill you. And your family, and you pets, especially your dog, but even your hamster. And your Linux games.

Outside of the Marvel universe, there's actual Scandinavian mythology, where, unlike Marvel's, Loki got his balls tied to a goat.
