    I don’t see the os switch happening unless microsoft stops existing in its entirety.

    Abandoning home PCs could be a thing I guess, but i feel like that would happen either way for these people

      I doubt the os switch is happening too, some will probably switch but that will be a small amount, either they get Linux or afaik all other “popular” options require new hardware anyways (Macos)

      I think many will just stay on windows 10 if their hardware doesn’t support 11 but ehh

      Difficult to say, that’s why I’m waiting on the EOL for headlines like “millions of pcs vulnerable due to missing updates” or “maybe we were a little hard on crowdstrike”

        Linux has been gaining market share, it’s at 4.5% or so, it’s not much but just until recently it never even hit 3%

        Maybe Valve has something to do with it but who knows… I think we will see a bigger jump and it will start being as common as os x or something… I plan to switch and have been trying out different things
