    I’m just waiting for the EOL of window 10 to see which of the following will happen:

    1. Many PCs will stop getting updates, people don’t care
    2. Many PCs will be replaced for windows 11
    3. Turns out people already have replaced their PCs due to other reasons
    4. Microsoft removes the hardware requirements
    5. People switch to another OS
    6. People just don’t buy a home PC anymore
    7. ???
    8. Profit???

      6 is becoming increasingly more common. Anecdotally, almost all of the gamers I know use consoles and have a phone for all of their “computer needs.” One of my friends probably wouldn’t even use his if it weren’t for VR Chat.

      My bet is that they are gonna surrender and will remove restriccions to W11. I doubt that a non-it person gonna install Linux, at least that, some companies decided to resell old~ computers with linux preinstalled that’s the only way
