I switched my desktop to mint a few weeks ago. Kept win10 on a separate drive, but I haven't booted it since.

I’m one of the many. Hate where tech is headed, I remember hearing about Microsoft wanting to turn windows cloud based with a subscription. Hell no

Eh I just installed 10 in a VM to do my taxes

With ~~end of life~~ the year of the Linux desktop fast approaching.

Or, like me, still on Windows 7, they could just no longer use Steam. Lots of games I can still play on this OS or in my browser. Maybe someday I'll go back to Linux, or maybe even React, just for the hell of it.

when do they roll out that pay for support instead of being forced to windows 11

Damn, that sucks for them. Glad I gave up that nonsense years ago.

There seems to be an understanding that the average user is going to switch from windows 10 at EOL. I'm quite confident most personal devices will run it until it stops working flat out. Your average PC user has no concern about security vulnerabilities until they're exploited in a way that actually breaks the functionality of the thing.

A migration to to Linux will be very delayed. Like months or years. In lots of cases probably long enough that people will be shopping for new hardware anyways by the time they have to decide on a new OS.
