I've been on Windows 11 since it was released. The only problem I had were NVIDIA drivers sometimes causing a bluescreen (mainly my fault).

Linux doesn't work for me currently, since I use RDP to connect to systems for work, and RDP clients on Linux are ass.

My home (gaming) pc is going back to linux for sure., on the very day they drop support for 10.

I tried it a few months ago but had issues with various games and lowered performance in almost all of them. I still don't know if I will just cave in and upgrade to win11 or try linux again, i've got a free partition waiting but the issue is lack of time and motivation to dive into troubleshooting the OS on a daily basis

Been using Linux since 2005. Really don't understand why so many people put up with Microsoft planned obsolescence, spyware, ads, etc. Linux is easier now than it's ever been. Most things work out of the box if you pick a reasonable distro. If you're going to be pushed to learn a new paradigm, do it once more by learning Linux and stop being pushed.

My system isn't even that old (maybe 4 years) and the first few times I got that very annoying popup that I should try to upgrade it told me in vague terms that I couldn't. So be it, everything runs fine now. I have backups of everything, so if WIn10 doesn't continue to work as simply unsupported one day I'll look for ways to "fix" it like someone mentioned with a 3rd party, or go to Linux and adapt to it. Anyone who has ever had a drive failure knows that the solution is to use a recovery USB which will be a portable Linux, so it will be just another version of that.

I'm running Linux everywhere incuding the machine I am writing on right now. I have one single dual boot machine with Windows 10 as the mainly used OS for the simple reason that I need to run one specific software (and some of the "ecosystem" around it) that is not available for Linux. The only alternative is Apple which is even worse in my opinion. So I think I'll be forced to update. All the rest of my daily computing stuff has been moved to Linux for a long time.
