I will probably continue using 10 until it will no longer do what I need. I will then switch to one or more versions of linux.
I’ve already installed Arch on a spare laptop to assess the difficulty of switching over. So far I’m very impressed!
arch-install made the setup pretty easy, and KDE Plasma feels very natural for someone migrating from Windows. Flatpaks make installing/updating apps a breeze, and there’s way more apps available than I expected, including commercial ones like Spotify.
Most of the “muscle memory” habits translate across too, for example pressing Meta and typing “notepad” shows KWrite in the start menu. That was a nice surprise.
I can already tell it’s going to be viable for 90% of my needs, and the fact that there’s good free software to do everything from video editing to office tasks is really amazing. Linux desktop has come a LONG way.
Same, but with Mint.
Haven’t encounted more than a few problems up until now and most I could fix by myself after a quick search and some very light reading.
I’ve been very satisfied with the OS switch.
I’d be curious to see the win 11 share without mandated corporate upgrades. As in, if you leave users a choice, do they want or even care about win 11?
If given the choice I think a lot of people would have been happy sticking with even older versions.
