      It's debatable, as a Linux user I find that both sides are full of drones. The Windows drones that struggle with a subtle but omnipresent pain while using their OS that at each turn goes after them and force themselves into believing that it's the best and intended way of using a PC, while the Linux drones struggle endlessly in search of a solution that could give back their freedom and power over the machine and finally just end in a bigger, golden cage they made themselves, just (allegedly) free of spyware. Like in every thing there's no perfect OS after all, you have just to pick your poison. One reason that people that choose Linux may end seem "cultish" to Windows users is just that people kinda tend to get drunk for the euphoria of making a choice that seemed impossible at a first glance, and may become etilitarist as a result. But you can get etilitarist even by feeling superior by not making a choice at all and masking it as bravery or "real freedom", and I've seen Windows user doing it A LOT.

    The bottom line is that as PC costs went up, people would hang onto them for far longer.
    On top of that, if you have a speedy, functional and capable machine (for your uses) why would you need to upgrade?
    I have a 16 gig RAM, 4th gen i5 running server 2016 for testing and it is more than adequate. Do I throw it away because I can't upgrade? Heck no!
    I do understand that security is an issue, but it seems to me that the push for constant upgrades may have hit against a wall made up of adequate hardware and adequate functionality which many people are OK with.

      I switched to Linux in 1998 I still have windows machine and macs around because i run my own consulting business. being savvy with everything means more clients. I have watched the Linux ecosystem evolve over the years and it's been a fun and wild ride. In 2024 i have seen more people announce they want to switch than in the past 26 years. no joke. I drop a few tips.
      With Linux you have to be more aware of the parts inside and what chipset's they have. This is the opposite of how marketing wants consumers to think. You have to think the other way. Instead of buying what you want whenever you want it's better to research what works. I have had 23 years of rock solid systems. My first 2 years were a disaster as i tried to use what i wanted instead of what worked. The rule has been anything 2 years or older should for the most part work. however this rule is changing and hardware is being supported faster.
      Next tip.. The community can be toxic or completely disconnected from what new users need. You will have to throw out at least 75% of the advice you get online.There are awesome people out there willing to help. There are also zealots and weirdo's giving allot of bad advice. typical of the internet these days.
      One of the biggest mistakes is that users think linux is a desktop OS. It's not... it's just a core with an ecosystem around it. some are awesome and others are horrible. You can dress Linux any way you want. You can have 100 different desktops... It's a different paradigm that takes some getting used too.

Obviously they needed more performant hardware to achieve such a feat.

      Well said. I’ll see if paying for the extended support for 10 is worth it. It’s sad to see Windows like this. I grew up with Vista and sure it was buggy but it had potential, it was beautiful UI and was truly ahead of its time since most PCs couldn’t handle it and even if they could, that meant barely could so the performance clearly sucked. I unfortunately never got the chance to use 7 so we went to 8 and 8.1 and 10.

      Therein lies the rub. No one wants to switch because there's no support. There's no support, because the desktop market share for Linux is literally less than 4%. It's easy to tell people to "suck it up", but they're losing hundreds, even thousands of dollars worth of software in doing so, many of which don't have good replacements on Linux. It's actually cheaper to soak up a new PC purchase so they can retain access to all that stuff.

It's harder to configure the way I like it, it insists on sending my data to M$, it requires hardware that I don't have (or want,) the list of negatives goes on. What's the _good_ reason for installing Win 11?
    The last time I looked forward to upgrading my OS was way back when I had an Amiga 2000. I still miss that beautiful OS, which allowed me to configure my computer the way I wanted it. So that's a hard "NO" from me about changing to Win 11; by the time support for 10 ends, hopefully some wizards out there will have worked out ways to defeat the obnoxious features of 11 so that it's usable!

Even after installing it the driver posed a problem as it won't let me set a 4k 60hz output without making a new display profile and setting a port to output it in terminal. I still don't know how to make that band-aid stick through a system restart. The Nvidia one just let me set 4k 60hz in the display properties menu like normal. Despite people bashing on Nvidia for not properly supporting Linux in general I had a much easier time getting my old 1080 working than my new 7900xtx.

      Gaming wise I can see the difference though.
      I used to video edit 1080p video on my 3770k PC and while you can notice the upgrade to 10400f or 7600X the 3770K is still usable as I still video edit on that PC when I'm rendering on the others.

      First thing you have to learn is that installing programs on linux is completely different than in winshit. You use package manager (common repository). Upside is that you use one program that has GUI (Graphical User Interface) to update your system and all applications at once.

    I have an E8400 machine with 4GB or RAM, I've installed Windows 11 on it, bypassing the requirements checks of course.
    People see how much RAM Win11 uses on their 32GB machines and assume that something like 4GB would be unusable not realising how Windows utilizes available memory, however, it's an absolutely usable machine.
    Web browsing, older games, all run great. As long as you don't have a dozen things running at once it's a totally usable machine.
    Sadly, as it's missing the instruction set that is required for the next major update, it will be rendered incompatible with Windows 11.
    Point being, it's frustrating how many totally capable machines Microsoft are pushing to make obsolete when they still have life left in them.

Never double-click email attachments to open them. Save them to your computer, open the correct software, and try to open the file in the software. If it doesn't work, the file is bad and needs to be deleted. I've been on PCs since 1989.

    honestly i might just go back to windows 10 anyways. i mean... do security updates even matter? i havent had security issues since early windows xp era and the landscape has changed so much that individual machines arent even a target for shady stuff anymore. since all the data is stored on big servers, thats what bad people target nowadays to go for server breaches.
    atm i kind of believe that not having constant updates is a good thing. because as history showed, new updates usually do more harm than good and new updates allways messes up your entire systems setup. by setting up your windows correctly once and then keeping it in that configuration without constant updates messing stuff up or introducing new features and problems, your system might actually be more secure after all and windows 10 is recent enough that certain sercurity features simply work and you can probably just keep using it for a long time.
