The True Cost of Renting Your OS

Two paths forward: Accept the liability of perpetual rent, or establish permanent sovereignty.

Comparison Point
Windows 11
Linux Mint (Protoss)
Hardware Lifespan
Dictated by Microsoft policy. Perfectly good hardware becomes e-waste.
Dictated by physics. Runs fast on hardware from 2012 or 2025.
Cost Model
Subscription rent (Office 365, OneDrive). You pay forever.
Ownership. Free forever. No monthly fees.
Privacy & AI
Mandatory Recall AI screenshots your work. Telemetry tracks every click.
Zero telemetry. AI is opt-in, local-only, and offline capable.
Updates
Forced restarts. "Getting Windows ready" holds you hostage.
Background updates. Never forced to reboot. You are in control.
Account Requirement
Must sign in with online Microsoft ID to seemingly use own computer.
Local offline accounts. No cloud connection required.
System Stability
Native vulnerability to BSODs (e.g. July 2024 CrowdStrike Outage) and forced updates.
Immune to Windows-specific infrastructure failures. 0% risk of "Blue Screen".

The Single-Day Sovereignty Protocol

From surveilled to sovereign in one day. We arrive at your location and handle everything on-premises.

Strategy

Step 1

Briefing & Roadmap

We arrive on-site at 0900 hours to audit your hardware and finalize the migration roadmap. Immediate full-system backups are initiated to ensure zero risk.

✓ Hardware compatibility audit
✓ Bit-perfect system preservation

Execution

Step 2

Upgrade & Deploy

We wipe and re-image your fleet with our hardened Linux Mint kernel. Every machine is configured with our "Windows-Mirror" interface for immediate familiarity.

✓ Secure drive wiping
✓ Sovereign OS deployment

Completion

Step 3

Verification & Support

We run the "Protoss/Self-Audit" to verify zero telemetry. Your staff receives hands-on training before we leave the premises.

✓ Telemetry-free verification
✓ Staff workflow training

Staff Onboarding & Support

New infrastructure requires new intelligence. We do not leave your team in the dark.

The "Switch" Course

Pre-loaded video series (stored locally on device) teaching your staff the 5% difference between Windows and Linux

The "Concierge" Uplink

Dedicated, encrypted chat channel (Signal/Session) on every desktop. Staff can message our Ops Center directly for "How-do-I?" questions. No tickets. No hold music. Direct answers.

// verification_protocol

Don't Trust. Verify.

We are the only IT provider that gives you the tools to police our work.

Every installation includes the Protoss Self-Audit Protocol. With one click, your system generates a plain-English report confirming:

  • No remote access tools are active
  • No data is leaving the device unauthorized
  • The "Protoss" team has no backdoor access

CTOs Who Made the Switch

Real migrations. Real results. Real sovereignty.

"I was terrified my staff would revolt. The 'Windows 7' theme you guys applied to Mint fooled them for three days. By the time they realized, they didn't care because everything just worked."

Sarah Jenkins
Managing Director, Horizon Logistics

"We save about $4,000 a year just on software subscriptions. But the real value is the silence. No pop-ups, no 'update now' nags, no tracking. It's just a tool again."

Marcus Thoern
Architect, Studio North

"The network appliance blocked 14,000 tracking requests in the first week. We didn't realize how much bandwidth Windows telemetry was actually eating until we cut it off."

Dr. Aris Vovos
Founder, Aegis Dental Group

Common Questions

Will my specialized industry software run?
Native Linux alternatives exist for 95% of software. For the remaining 5% (legacy proprietary apps), we stick a "Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC" virtual machine in a sandbox on the desktop. You run your one legacy app there; everything else stays sovereign.
What if something breaks?
That's what the "Concierge Uplink" is for. Every desktop has a direct, encrypted chat line to our Ops Center. We don't use ticket numbers. You message us, we reply in minutes. If we can't fix it remotely, we deploy a unit.
Is Linux actually hard to use?
Not anymore. If you can use Android (which is Linux) or a Mac (Unix-based), you can use Linux Mint. We configure it specifically to muscle-memory match Windows workflows (Start menu, taskbar, file explorer).
How do updates work?
Seamlessly. Instead of "Restarting... 30% complete" holding you hostage, updates run in the background. You are never forced to reboot. You choose when to update. You own the machine.
