Ending support for Windows 10 could send 240 million computers to the landfill. Why not install Linux on them?

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 This will most likely result in many pcs being immediately outdated, and prone to viruses.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?

My desktop and laptop are both eligible to upgrade, but I keep declining and will likely switch to linux when win10 support ends.
Why wait? It's a process, so I would start asap
I've thought about it, but right now everything works exactly the way I need it and the only complaint I have is the occasional pop-ups from MS trying to get me to upgrade to win11 or switch my browser. My main uses for my devices are games and I just started back to school, so MS Office is nice to have. So, it's hard to justify putting in the effort to change things now, especially when I know how to use MS products very well, particularly modding games.
Yeah. I feel ya. I still have windows on dual boot for certain things and it's been a struggle at times but I gotta say I dread the times I need to boot windows! So much slower and annoying
