Ending Support For Windows 10 Could Send 240 Million Computers To The Landfill: A Stack Of That Many Laptops Would End Up 600 Km Higher Than The Moon - Gadget Tendency

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 This will most likely result in many pcs being immediately outdated, and prone to viruses.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

Windows 7 or Linux would be fine, Windows 10 is hardly that bad

Windows 7 is even older and already out of support for almost 4 years now. Why would you downgrade?

Only Linux makes sense in this case.
