No. Stop.

This is the definition of interrupting your enemy when they're making a mistake.

Let them kill windows 10, I have atleast 5 friends ready to switch to linux when Windows 10 hits EOL.

I have Linux on all my machines except one crappy old laptop that had Windows 10. When they EOL Win10, I'll have to buy another one like that for those rare occasions when you need to run something that just won't work in Linux.

you're a toxic optimist beyond saving if you think any of this

I'm no fool. I know Linux isn't going to hit 100% desktop marketshare the instant windows 10 goes EOL.

But I do know many people who are willing to make the switch rather than to go to Windows 11.

Windows has been bleeding desktop marketshare for years. They are at a far cry from their 80% of the early 2000s.
