Windows 10's extended support ends in eight months, but users are still rejecting Windows 11, at least in Germany (www.windowslatest.com)

I'm not exactly rejecting it, but I can't afford to build a new computer that can run it till the AI bubble bursts.

Try to get a simple Linux distribution instead (Mint or Ubuntu). Depending on what you are using your computer for it might be just as good, even faster, than windows.

It's not a popular answer but you can get by with an older PC running Linux KVM. Windows 11 is fine as a guest OS, unless you need kernel level DRM from some applications.

Eight months to learn Linux is a LONG time. You’ll be fine.

But they so generously extended their ~~blackmail ultimatum date~~ support!! Why won't people switch? It's so weird. Don't they know that MS CEO Satya Nadela ($1.1 Bil) has their best interest at heart, always?

On my gaming PC I never signed up for any sort of Win10 extended support but it still wants to update regularly. Did they just give up and give the extended support to everyone?

I miss WinXP. Simply the best, imo.

they were hounding me every fucking day on my only windows device, so I blocked all windows update domains on my pihole.

I don't use it often, but use it to do 3D modeling/slicing.
