@snwh I've wrote about your site computefreely.org at https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/campaign-to-get-windows-7-users-to-upgrade-to-linux/1015 (edit: and https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/campaign-to-get-windows-7-users-to-upgrade-to-linux/9563) and expressed some ideas about maybe making a campaign to get Windows 7 users to upgrade to Linux?

Maybe you want to have a look/check it out.

As for this site, maybe you can adjust it/make some special "Upgrade/Switch" page, or so? No idea…, just wanted to let you know.

The Compute Freely site does have a switching page: https://computefreely.org/switching/

Part of the idea of the site is to make a case without referencing the other OSes directly.

I know, that is nice, but unfortunately not specific enough. If we want to get users from windows 7, we need to address them directly.

snwh commented 5 years ago

Right, that isn't the goal of this site however.

rugk commented 5 years ago

...but can be expanded. 😄

Also I wanted to raise your interest for that and collect ideas in the linked forum threads. Possibly it can result in a new website or so.

rugk commented 5 years ago

…or you just make a subsite https://computefreely.org/win7 e.g.…

I would really like to see it. :smile:

try librehunt.org (shameless promotion :smile: ), it specifically tries convincing mac and windows users to try linux. what you want is out of scope for computefreely however

rugk commented 5 years ago

Great, this looks really useful! :smiley:
