When support for 10 ends, it will be the last time I run Windows under my roof.
- Tip if you're shopping laptops: stay away from any newish ASUS models. Sadly ASUS seems to still think Linux is some 'minor' thing that doesn't merit any support and they love making things a little custom...
  I like my dual-screen Duo 2024, but the detachable keyboard and sound still aren't properly supported. :(
  
  My main rig is a custom build and my laptop is a 2016 ThinkPad. I’m already far too much of a nerd. The only proprietary system I’ll have left is my Mac for music, which, good luck getting a solid audio stack + Ableton Live running on Linux. I’ve tried.
I'd guess many people probably can't upgrade due to the Windows 11 hardware requirements, and the rest probably don't want to because Windows 10 is fine and Windows 11 has a reputation for a lot of bullshit. Personally I'll upgrade when I'm forced to due to lack of security updates.
- Upgrade to Linux, right?
- Is this really the best strategy? There will be a moment where there is a critical Win10 security issue discovered and that will be abused by bad actors in record time as there still will be millions of Win10 devices around there. So maybe try to upgrade before you're forced to upgrade?
  
  I said I was going to upgrade when Microsoft stops security updates for Win 10, so I'm not sure what you mean.
