    Ms will stop supporting windows 10. Windows 11 has hardware requirements for a specific security chip and processors with specific features, so upgrading components isn’t an option.

    If you have an old pc you can’t easily upgrade. Theres ways of forcing it to work but it’s not supported.

    A lot of businesses will be getting rid of their old pcs so they dont need to deal with the hassle.

    Linux will still support and run on the older hardware, so a lot of people are expecting used hardware prices to drop.

      And thanks to Proton you can now do pretty much everything that you can do on Windows. Unless you do graphics design.

        That’s definitely been true in the past, but the gap’s narrowed a lot. GIMP (with plugins) and Krita cover most Photoshop-style workflows, and Inkscape does a pretty good job with vector work. For many graphic design tasks, Linux has solid native tools now—just takes a bit of adjustment if you’re used to Adobe.

        I have people complaining about simple UI changes. Proton isn’t going to fix that.
