People will keep their Windows 10 machines running until they die or no longer meet their personal requirements and then end up buying a new computer with 11 or so on it in the future.
Not that much of a threat if you use common sense of internet use and don`t do stupid stuff that gets you hacked anyway, no matter the OS.
Windows 10 support "coming to an end" means still years of extended support & corporate support, and then more years before software stops running on 10. The Oct "end of support" won't push that many people to 11 that weren't already on it.
More likely it'll be long enough that they go to Win 12 (assuming that the "every other version is good" trend/superstition continues. hah.) or 13. I went from 7 to 10 (in 2020, when I built my new PC) skipping 8, for example. /shrug
Depends if Microsoft will change the requirements to warrant a new branding i.e new Windows version.
Windows 11 after all was meant to serve as a feature upgrade to Windows 10 at first but then Microsoft decided to add the TPM 2.0 and 8th gen Intel/Ryzen 2000 or newer requirements
I don't think Linux needs to be better, it just needs to be a good alternative.
Yea with all its dozen or so games and what, running on a GPU equivalent yo an Intel iGPU or Radeon M series
If it had the same UI as 10 no one would be able to tell which is which.
Also we can no longer put our taskbar on the side of the screen which is very annoying when you've been able to do that in every Windows version for decades.
"Too hard to program" they said. "Our programmers are less skilled" is what they meant.
Wow, they removed a feature that 2 people used. So sad
I personally know more than 2 people who used it. On top of not being able to move it, you also can't resize the taskbar or its icons either.
The point is that they took away functionality. They took something and made it worse and gave the user less agency over it. This has been a running trend with Microsoft.
Along with all the spying and AI trash. Also the whole forced reboots thing. Oh and forced updates. That too.
Also also the whole needing to create a Microsoft account to set up a user.
Also also along with many other reasons.
The GUI though, was what set me over the edge.
They wouldn’t let me move the task bar. Seriously, wtf is that about?
💁♂️: “I want the task bar on the left of the screen and hidden, like I have had forever.”
🪟: “No.”
🙋♂️: “Why?”
🪟: “No.”
🤦♂️
Anyway, swapped to Linux in January. It’s a million times better and I should have switched years ago. Plus also also my GUI is now way more customizable. Along with like, the entire rest of the operating system.
It’s so refreshing having agency over my hardware again.
