I love this absolute fantasy Linux folk have come up with
I do some e-wasting for a number of big companies and have piles of old laptops. I've taken to giving the laptops to people that need computers and the ones with Linux don't taken. I literally can't give away Linux computers. They can buy their own windows licenses.

Weird to use a game that decided to drop its official Linux support for this meme

Distro-hopped a lot till I landed on Manjaro with XFCE desktop environment. Been daily driving it for about a month now without any complaints. There is an option to install with NVIDIA drivers as well.
Using roblox to talk about linux
It once played perfectly fine under WINE, then Roblox explicitly blocked it for no good reason.

Like if people actually cared that a Windows version goes EoL. That literally means nothing to most people and typical PC user won’t even notice anything until something will functionally break, which will take YEARS after it's EoL.
A lot of people will be happy not to have windows update asking to restart the computer anymore.
Sure, Linux has some selling points and it’s a good moment for it to try and gain new users, but I'm tired of people acting like it’s the YOTLD because of what Microsoft is doing to Windows. It’s just delusional
Considering people kept using Windows XP well after EOL... yup.
- Plasma is more similar to Windows
- Plasma is more customizable
- Plasma is just as beginner-friendly
- Plasma has more features
- Plasma is more actively developed
- Plasma looks better
Don't get me wrong, Cinnamon is fine, but it gets recommended religiously to beginners for some reason. It just doesn't make sense, so I will keep repeating this, not least to keep alive the ancient linux tradition of Desktop wars.
Still, any Windows to Linux transition is a step forward and I support this, upvoted.
As someone who has extensively used both Cinnamon and Plasma: I find Plasma a lot less polished, by a huge margin. Not only do settings have unusual defaults and are located in places you wouldn't expect, it also often has desktop-breaking bugs out of nowhere even in stable versions, and this has only gotten worse with Wayland. Even as someone who has been using Arch for years now, I still struggle with getting Plasma to not shit itself every once in a while.
Cinnamon on the other hand does have a lot less features out of the box, but the few things it does, it does them well, and every setting is where a sane person would search for them.
I would not recommend Plasma to a Linux beginner at all. It's the kind of unpolished mess that would make anyone who doesn't care enough about computers to just give up and go back to Windows.

I'd say kde plasma is closest to windows 10 while Linux mints cinnamon covers vista, 7, 8.1 and 11

Oh is this an excuse to hop on the Mint praise train? Don’t mind if I do!
For me it was smoother than windows to install, it runs much better moment to moment (it’s like the people that made it were worried about making nice software rather than the business goals being pushed by their managers), and most importantly the fact that it is the “beginner” distro doesn’t compromise its capabilities. I am in the terminal all day every day and I use the machine to work on software for embedded Linux systems.
Mint was so easy to install. I'm pretty new to Linux. Not afraid of having to do things in the terminal, but I don't really know many commands yet. So, I appreciate the graphical managers for updates and drivers. You can definitely tell they really worked to make a polished OS. And I really like Cinnamon. It's a very clean looking DE that has been super easy to transition to from Windows.
Unlike Kubuntu, I didn't have to do any tricks or install anything from github to get stuff from my Steam library to work, everything just worked. And Kubuntu (or perhaps just Wayland) would crash upon waking my PC from sleep and wouldn't recover.
Remember when Windows XP reached EoL the first time in 2009 and people abandoned it? Yeah, me neither, but I remember Microsoft groaning and extending some support for a few more years, until the final EoL in 2014. I expect the same to happen to 10.

I'm a Linux noob so I put Mint on my PC. I like it a lot, very smooth and clean looking.

People will keep using Windows 10 even if Microsoft will not fix any vulnerability
Closer to the EoL time, someone is going to release a version of Linux that is basically windows, with a super locked down interface etc to make it so newbies can install and use with zero CLI or setup.
Or at least some serious consumer-grade onboarding.
Presumably it will have reduced functionality to make it as stable as humanly possible too.
And they'll probably become one of the larger distributions until people get the confidence to "upgrade" to a more complex one.
If they can get a version that just runs all Windows programs (not just games) out of the box without user modification then great. I'd consider that to be an actual Windows replacement.
If all you're running is a browser and some light office suite use then great, Linux can do that now. Otherwise what people saying "just switch to Linux" are really saying is "stop using your PC".
is this not what the steam deck os will eventually offer? cause I can see myself using that on my desktop eventually
Didn't know that was a thing outside of steam deck.
But yeah I'm waiting until the last moment because it's likely that's when the best contender will appear.

The average user cares less about their OS being EoL, than that they have to learn a whole new OS that works "completely" different to what they are used to.

The Steam Deck and it's desktop mode are why I decided to try jumping head first into a single boot of Bazzite on my main computer, it's basically like using a Steam deck, just across four monitors, a year in and I haven't looked back.

I will likely go back to mint once Windows 10 is done. 11 is pure trash.
The major hang up I have is gaming. I have an Nvidia card and it's never behaved well with Linux. I also like GTAO but I will no longer be able to play it. Most of my other titles work fine.
I don't know what I'm going to do yet.

I'm experimenting with Pop!_OS on my aging laptop running it on a USB drive. Was happy to see it supports 2-in-1 functionality.

I started on mint a couple months ago and so far I've tried as many distros as I could find. I liked manjaro but then found out about their controversies so I'm currently on endeavour os. Half of the fun for me has been experimenting with different desktops and whatnot, which has gotten me back into computer stuff.

Microsoft added a CoPilot icon to my Windows 10 Taskbar yesterday. It looks to me like they're not going to take "no" for an answer.
They also added a "it's time to upgrade to Windows 11" full screen message on my login screen (with the option to decline in tiny text).
