With support ending for Windows 10, the most popular desktop operating system in the world currently, possibly 240 million pcs may be sent to the landfill. This is mostly due to Windows 11’s exorbitant requirements. This will most likely result in many pcs being immediately outdated, and prone to viruses. GNU/Linux may be these computers’ only secure hope, what do you think?

    People aren’t going to throw the PCs out. They are going to continue using Windows 10 for years without security updates.

    I still saw XP installs a decade after support had ended.

        You’re ignoring the fact that they ended XP support for months and then brought it back for literal years after so much outcry
