Support ends next year, but Windows 10 remains the most-used version of the OS.

    Unfortunately for us, Windows 10 is stubbornly popular because we dont want the new features.

    (We also dont want a new CPU just to upgrade).

    Please don’t. Just keep providing security updates for an extended time and don’t make Win 10 worse with these ‘features’ that are keeping people away from Win 11.

    Stubborn? Windows 11 does not support my older hardware. With no other reason to upgrade, I’m not dropping that kind of cash just for Windows 11.

    Regardless, I fully migrated to Linux last year.

    I’ve got Win 10 and it works fine. I have no reason to upgrade to Win 11. If any new ‘feature’ gets added to Win 10, I will disable it.

      I just dual booted Linux Mint yesterday when I was reminded of the Win 10 end of service date, and hope to keep with it as my main system.

      Linux has come a long way with compatibility since I last tried it ~10 years ago. The fact that Steam games ran perfectly without an evening of configuring settings blew my mind.

        Honestly my ability to game has what has kept me out of linux. I trialed PopOs a while ago. I will more than likely switch to it when shit starts getting super annoying.

            It’s the multi-player side that is still an issue though. The anticheat software is a pain.

              Some multiplayer, but not all. Not that that makes it perfect, but I’ve had minimal issues with multiplayer games. I do not play popular FPS games where anti cheat software is prevalent, so that’s mostly why. I did get Ghost of Tsushima the other day, and that is not compatible for online play, but I think that’s because of Sony.

                Personally I’ve had zero issues with multiplayer. But yeah, I’m also not playing the latest twitch shooters and whatever.

                  I’d love to run just Linux, but I don’t want to hassle with dual boot for the couple of competitive shooters I do play.

                  It sucks because all the other games I play would run without a problem.

    The “and more” is the worrying part. They’re telling us that some of the things they are adding are not ‘features’. So then what are they?

    Ads, probably. That’s the trend these days. More and more ads, in everything, everywhere - just really probing the limits of tolerability.

    Its not that 10 is more popular, its that 10 is less jacked up. Start jacking 10 and we’ll all go back to 7

    My set up comfortably plays cyberpunk at dead fancy settings, but doesn’t meet the system requirements for windows 11.

    Yeah, I’m going to rub out windows 10 as long as I can (although I dual boot Debian anyway).

    That’s why it is stubbonky popular.

      and yes, I know they are both based off Linux.

      maybe pedantic, but macos is actually bsd based. chromeos being based off of actual linux(gentoo) is what has allowed them to slowly open it up to the point where you can actually install regular linux apps on it
