Comment on Microsoft begins cracking down on people dodging Windows 11's system requirements

It was incredibly well adopted so we have to believe any open vulnerabilities will be targeted quickly and relentlessly. Sadly, we will be in a 11 only world by this time next year.

I’m fine with just the security updates until 2025. I’m sure I’ll eventually be able to move on to Linux by then.

Hell, I look forward to the only updates being security. Microsoft seems to think anyone likes having their OS change overnight.

The barrier to entry is pretty low anymore for Linux. There’s some really helpful communities here as well. I’ve ran various versions as secondary OS’es since the early 00’s and can pretty confidentially say, its never been easier.
PopOS, Mint and even Ubuntu are super easy to get up and running and Proton makes gaming a breeze like never before.
