I will just go take all 240 million of them out of the garbage.
10 has only been superseded quite recently, 2025 seems like a very short deadline.
My computer more than meets the minimum spec for 11, and it's a free upgrade, so I'm not too worried, but it's still a surprise.
So 240 million potential new Linux devices...? I see this as an absolute win!
Siempre esta la opcion de usar Linux y mantener activos esos equipos
Another way to say this is the master race are about to upgrade their hardware

Hyperbolic bullshit. Incompatibility, my ass.
It's like the old 32 bit to 64 bit jump - care will be needed or a competitor might sieze the market as people get disgruntled over the cost of upgrading.
There never was really a 32-bit to 64-bit jump, there wasn't really one from 16 to 32 either. When does adoption from both happened fairly far after the CPUs were common and backwards compatibility with x86 was why it never was an issue unless you tried to run beta software or had NVIDIA chipset drivers early on.
