Who gives a f*ck about GDPR? Anything with GDPR in an email is filtered into my spam bin before I see it. I voted to leave the EU, I will not abide by EU laws.
Unsupported does not mean unusable. Ask any vintage car owner.
Indeed, Linux is for experts. Windows is for normal folk.
No wonder the ATMs never work.
Surely Windows should have corrected the time as soon as it got on the i= nternet?

I disagree. Modern versions of Linux are easy to use and have less shit added than Windoze 10.
Windows 10 problems can be very difficult to fix for example. There was a recent update that screwed up many installations.
An invalid comparison. Vintage cars do not need OS security updates.
It's not Mozilla's fault. It's working properly.
Maybe, I don't tend to use it much nowadays. As presumably it's still not as easy to just download any old freeware to run on it. If you try to get some software online, the assumption is it's for Windows. There may be a Mac and Linux version if it's quite popular, but probably not.
I've never had a Windows problem I couldn't fix very quickly. And never one caused by an update. We hear in the media about updates causing problems, just like we hear of people being attacked with knives, but the chances of either of those ever being you are pretty remote. The only nasty problems I've had were due to faulty hardware, which is nothing to do with the OS. The number of BSODs people have shown me and blamed Windows, only to find when I change the RAM it all goes away....

The date was too far in the FUTURE. An expired certificate would be too= far in the PAST. Doh! Bad programming Firefox.

Hint. Insert a mint live DVD and follow instructions.
Last windows install I did was Win XP. Linux Mint is way easier
Only 'interesting ' bit is checking to see if non-free drivers would improve things
Gerenally for custom video or wifi chips
Possibly the internal battery is flat?
Non-free? As in you have to pay for drivers?!
Irrelevant., that only keeps the time when it's switched off. Once the OS is running, the time is downloaded from a timeserver then kept using mains power.
More bollocks.
Every update causes a screw up somewhere. What's the point of using 10 million beta testers if MS ignore the problems the beta testers find. It would help if MS kept their hands off working drivers and competitors's AV software.
and where do I get a mint Live DVD from? You can't just pop into the newsagents and find a free one on every computer magazine anymore.
I have tried downloading from the internet - complete failure.
(It seems that the reason that it fails is because, as well as putting the Linux install on the disk, you also need to make the medium "bootable". But nowhere in the download instructions does it tell you how to do this (or even that you need to do it). It automatically assumes that you know that you need to, and know how to do this. I haven't got a Scooby.)
