Gentle reminder to everyone that support for #windows10 ends in about 90 weeks. Many computers can't upgrade to Win 11 so here are your options:
- Continue on Win 10 but with higher security risks.
- Buy new and expensive hardware that supports Win11.
- Try a beginner friendly #Linux distro like #linuxmint. It only takes about two months to acclimate.

Except that realistically people will continue to run the same machines just without security updates.
People will, but most businesses won't, so you can expect a wave of cheap server hardware and business notebooks.
This happens every year anyways, when IT departments need to spend their remaining budget. A lot of people set up home servers on ex-office small form factor PCs like HP ProDesk/EliteDesk, Lenovo Tiny, etc. Companies are always throwing them out when they upgrade, and as a result there's always good deals for them on ebay. A lot of companies have a 2-3 year upgrade cycle.
