I bet they seen where people were switching to Linux. “Windows 10 Extended Security Updates (ESU) were supposed to end in October, but Microsoft now says the program will end on Oct. 12, 2027.”

That sucks, sorry to hear that
Thanks man. Windows get a bad rap and I bitch about it all the time, esp with what they are doing now with their copilot and shit. But at the end of the day, their shit works. Poorly, but works. And in my line of work, stability is the key metric.
If you had started on Linux, you’d have stability due to familiarity.
Moving to something unfamiliar is HARD. Since I’m the nerd in the friend group, I’m sometimes tasked to address issues.
Helping someone with a Windows 11 issue was hard, because all of the familiar tools I used in Windows 7 (the last version I spent a bunch of time on) had been moved or looked completely different. I was lost for a bit. I knew what the problem was, but I couldn’t figure out how to get to the tool to troubleshoot and fix.
If you decide to try again, take it slow, and figure out how to fix issues as they arise. Once you become familiar, things get easier, I promise.
