Is this the year?
It's always the year
Nah, that was last year really.
People are still migrating. It's going to take a while. I hope they take the time before October though.
Anyway...
Windows 10 sun setting gonna bring a decent bump.
I think we get our year once critical mass of gamers make that switch
Windows 10 hangers on'ers are probably also more technically savvy than those who get told by a machine that they "have to update", and then do so.
Ahahahahahhaha what?
That’s what was said when Windows 8 launched, and then again when support ended for Windows 7, and again when extended support ended for Windows 7.
The only thing that ever really had an effect on Linux user numbers was the Steam Deck.
Lets be honest. Only the most tech savy of them will actually install Linux. Most are just not going to care they're not getting updates on their >6 year old machines.
Definitely!
