Windows 11 won't even run on most of the computers I have and those computers have still got many years of life in them. If they drop support for Windows 10 I guess I'll go all in on Linux (I just use it for my work machine at the moment).

It's almost like artificially limiting adoption to all computers made in ~2018 or later would do that. Software TPM 2 has been present in systems since Haswell (~2014) yet even people with Zen 1 Threadrippers got dicked out of "official" upgrade support due to their computer's age.

I would very much like to switch (back) to Linux. I used it (and FreeBSD!) 20+ years ago as my daily driver.

Unfortunately, there are a few things that keep me stuck in windows... -Music production. I know Reaper exists (I use it and script for it daily), but my Maschine hardware that I paid good money for won't run with Linux. And beyond that there's still a subset of plugins (again, that I've paid for) that I'm just not likely to be able to use, and most of that which I can use will be unsupported. -Adobe. Lightroom in particular. Eventually I will wean off this, but as of now, it's simply the best tool I have to unify all my photography (old and new) across all devices with very, very little friction.

I can find a suitable counterpart for just about everything else I use.

Also, FWIW - I recently revitalized an old laptop with Ubuntu and that's become a springboard for seeing if I can map out a path to Linux for my other needs.

(Apologies for rant - it's front of mind for me lately!)

My only interactions with Windows are on company equipment and I eagerly await Win11. By the gods I need tabs in the file explorer. I know there are Win10 solutions but the system is locked down because it is company equipment. And I ain't got time nor energy for chats with IT/HR.

Seriously no reason to use it over win10 enterprise iot ltsc 21h2 other than the cpu scheduler in intel 13th gen

I live in fear that one day IT will tell me my work computer needs to move to 11. Its bad enough I need to spend 1/3rd of my day using Windows, I don't need it to be Windows+Ads

Maybe because it's garbage and a worsening of everything people hate about what Windows is becoming? Nah, it's the consumer that's wrong....

most people I know are still waiting to upgrade for stability and feature parity with windows 10

I both can’t upgrade most of my devices, and have switched to linux on my home pc (in a dualboot with windows still) but use linux mainly. Been pretty nice so far.
