The windows 10 obsolescence is going to be an absolute bloodbath. Most small shops don't have the hardware, most old folks don't have the hardware, and a lot of students don't have the hardware.
And those not so tech savvy,They won't know how to upgrade to another OS or will stick with 10
I help where I can - got my mum and aunt over to lubuntu and they love it. I'll help some coworkers make the jump around September ^_^
Linux to the resq. I changed my wife's PC to Linux years ago she only said "it looks different now" but otherwise seamless
For older family it's, weirdly, an easy move.
For folks who play games from the 90s, 00s or just random indie fangames it can be tricky. My main worry is moving over Minecraft and Skyrim mod packs (a la curseforge and wabbajack) - no idea how easy/hard that will be!
I've experimented and (after going to war with wine) got pretty much everything else running though!
Curseforge has native Linux support so ive had no problem with getting it running, skyrim modding was a lot more difficult for me but with enough effort it should work
