Looks like they're getting a bit nervy that this forced obsolescence might actually push some people away from windows

Windows 11's spying and bloat is what's pushing me away from windows.

Too late in my case. I don't even have a Windows partition any more on my desktop. Haven't for over a year.

Or they're worried about a ton of bad press when people inevitably get compromised after security updates end.

This is the perfect time for Linux to fix any problems it may have.

Did it for me. I went full tilt to nixos, none of this mint or popos business

My next distro hop is going to be Debian mini and then I'm just going to hand build out the whole OS myself.

Your head is bent if you think thats a gatekeeping comment

Just kinda comes across like Mint or PopOS are somehow “less-than.”

[–] Wooki@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Its the opposite. Well done. Nix is very difficult.
