      Even better as a Windows 10 user - get to avoid the issues with version 11 and the issues with Linux!

            not sure how it’s really relevant.

            Your original comment mentioned this…

            I responded with the end of life date for Windows 10 to let you know that those are depending on staying on Windows 10 can only do so for a limited amount of time, and hence only have a limited time of avoiding issues with Windows 10. That’s the relevance.

              You can say this about all software though? Linux also won’t be around forever… So it’s somewhat irrelevant.

                First, we’re talking about OS’s, and not software in general. Please don’t use a debate tactic to move the goal posts.

                Second, nope, you can’t, so it is relevant. Linux has always been here when other OSs have come and gone (OS/2 anyone?).

                To your original comment…

                Just to reiterate, Windows 10 has a shelf life that is very much shorter than Linux’s, so you won’t be a Windows 10 user for much longer.

                Regardless of how you feel about this and/or Windows vs. Linux, you’ll need to plan for it.

                Make the smart move, you’ll benefit more financially and otherwise for doing so.

                  Windows has always been free for me so it’s no big issue. But yes, as a current Windows 10 user my point still stands that the best of both worlds is using it IMO. Have the widest support for games and can easily remove any bloatware you want from it already.

                  You are the one who originally changed the goal posts about it being changed in 2 years time and that being an issue. I’ll worry about that in 2 years time - for all we know Microsoft will extend the support.

                  But also to your point, Linux is very young itself so you can’t expect it to always be around. Once it’s around for 100+ years sure, but I just don’t see that being a thing. There’ll come a time where it’s no longer relevant.

                    That link, which it seems you haven’t read, is from Microsoft directly, stating their EoL date, so no, that won’t change.

                    You truly don’t know what you speak of (the italicized part). It’s 32 years old.

                    That’s not changing the goalpost.

                    You said you have Windows 10, so you can avoid Windowd 11 and it’s issues that it has that we have all been discussing in this thread.

                    All I did was respond with that you won’t have Windows 10 forever, so you won’t be able to avoid Windows 11, which you acknowledged…

                    I’ll worry about that in 2 years time
