I switched my desktop to mint a few weeks ago. Kept win10 on a separate drive, but I haven't booted it since.
Or, like me, still on Windows 7, they could just no longer use Steam. Lots of games I can still play on this OS or in my browser. Maybe someday I'll go back to Linux, or maybe even React, just for the hell of it.
Damn, that sucks for them. Glad I gave up that nonsense years ago.
Well I don't know... it will end in October. Time surely doesn't fly that fast...
I was able to upgrade to Windows 11 on my dinosaur desktop (at least 10 years old) without any issues. Been able to keep it updated, too, for at least the last 2 years.
There are ways to bypass certain hardware restrictions, and I'm sure plenty of how-tos are still available.
No need to sweat it.
