I just dual booted Linux Mint yesterday when I was reminded of the Win 10 end of service date, and hope to keep with it as my main system.
Linux has come a long way with compatibility since I last tried it ~10 years ago. The fact that Steam games ran perfectly without an evening of configuring settings blew my mind.
Honestly my ability to game has what has kept me out of linux. I trialed PopOs a while ago. I will more than likely switch to it when shit starts getting super annoying.
It's already super annoying, and this is what people always say. What's it going to take in your case?
As of right now? It'll probably be the drop in support next year. While I have my complaints about Microsoft or any major corporation, for that matter, I'm not the most tech savvy. If Microsoft were to come out and say support is extended, I'll stick with W10. If they come out with an OS that allowed me to pick and choose what software I wanted and didn't load it with a shit ton of bloat ware I'd be all over that like shit on velcro. I know these are pipe dreams, and I will most likely move. For now, I will stay the current course until it's time to jump into the Linux pool and learn how to swim.
