Nearly half of Steam's users are still using Windows 10, with end of life fast approaching (www.pcguide.com)

No they'd still be running XP if they could.

I know i would, lol! I def fit the type being described. I just jumped over to Linux after having a hard drive crash necessitating the installation of a new OS. I was just gonna go with windows 10 again but it was giving me fits trying to install it for some reason. Starting to wonder if i had a bad PC and not a bad hard drive, i decided to make a bootable usb stick with Mint using an old laptop. Eventually i got it to boot up my PC and i never looked back. Took a little while to get used to the new system but so much of it works the same way as Windows that i had little trouble bridging any gaps. I don't do PC gaming though, so i probably haven't run into the problems that i imagine are preventing others from making the leap. I guess I wouldn't bother going back now even if I could, now that I'm talking about it...I'm very happy with Mint.
