Hopefully you're joking. The day will come when none of your software will be updated on Windows 10, and it will become increasingly unusable. That day is still pretty far off, but it's going to come.
We're still using commercial software on W10 that was compiled for XP and shipped on CDROMS. The backwards compat on Windows is unreal and continues to be the major reason why I tend to stick my neck out for MS to the extent that I do. The OS is solid too, so hundreds of days of uptime on my desktop certainly doesn't hurt :D
One developer said it in an interview, and Microsoft never issued a correction. Microsoft never actually marketed it that way, and honestly I'm not sure why anyone even believed that developer at the time.
That being said, Windows 11 is a free upgrade. So aside from just not liking the changes (I personally like most of them) there's not much room to complain about Windows 10 not actually being the last version of Windows.
Well, yeah. And I think that's ultimately why they bumped it up to 11, because they wanted to drop support for older hardware. Even if Windows 10 was going to be the "last version" of Windows, it would be insane to believe that it would continue to support all hardware forever.
That being said, the cutoff line for Windows 11 CPU support does seem to be a bit higher than necessary. But I don't know all of the reasoning behind why they chose the point that they did.
I wouldn't outright recommend dropping Windows to switch to Regolith, but goddamn is Regolith a good OS. It really doesn't get enough love, I'm hoping that development doesn't taper off over the next few years...
True! Would be even greater with rolling released based distros... Is there smth similar based on arch or similar maybe? :D
still looking for the optimal work distro
