If your PC doesn’t support Windows 11 then it makes sense to switch to Linux. But staying on an EOL OS when you could upgrade is plain stupid.

Right and MS will not lose nothing cus if that
I mean... It's not being turned off. You can still use Windows 10 if you want to, it's just Microsoft don't want to keep pushing security updates to it, and they're like "Well if you want continued security updates you're gonna have to sign in and pay for them".
You can always go without those updates.
