The Document Foundation, the non-profit organization behind the popular LibreOffice office suite, has officially joined the End of 10 initiative. This program aims to help users transition from Windows 10 to Linux operating systems.
About the End of 10 Initiative
The End of 10 project was launched in response to Microsoft's decision to end Windows 10 support in October 2025. The initiative encourages users to consider migrating to Linux distributions instead of being forced to upgrade to Windows 11 or purchase new hardware.
The Document Foundation's Role
The organization offers its expertise and resources to facilitate user transition:
- Technical support for LibreOffice integration in Linux environments
- Document and settings migration guides
- Educational materials for new Linux users
- Collaboration with distribution developers
Benefits of Moving to Linux
Initiative supporters highlight the following advantages:
- No licensing fees
- Better performance on older hardware
- Enhanced security and privacy
- Complete system control
- Active support community
LibreOffice as Microsoft Office Alternative
LibreOffice is a full-featured alternative to Microsoft Office, including Writer word processor, Calc spreadsheets, Impress presentations, and other tools. The suite is fully compatible with Microsoft Office formats and available for free.
Community Support
Various Linux distributions have already joined the initiative, including Ubuntu, Fedora, openSUSE, and others. Developers offer special migration tools and simplified installation procedures for Windows users.
Migration Challenges
Despite the advantages, transitioning to Linux may face certain difficulties:
- Need to learn a new operating system
- Compatibility with some specialized programs
- Lack of support for some games and multimedia applications
- Need for user retraining
Detailed information about LibreOffice and migration possibilities can be found on the official LibreOffice website.
