Many are rollback to Windows 10, but Linux is increasing as well.

    I switched to Linux when Windows 7 became EoL.

    Anyone paying attention to what they were doing with 10, knew what would be coming with 11.. and somehow its even worse than expected.. thanks to the sudden appearance of the greatest environmental disaster of our time.. AI.

    I was too scared to move to linux at the time. It was always something i had many misconceptions about, that only people with specialist knowledge could use and that if i wanted anything to work i would need to know how to code at an advanced level.

    I cant speak for then but now at least i have found that the communities are incredible, loads of work is being done to get everything to work and easy to set up. Github is amazing and i am learning slowly to use and love linux.

    So far i have only worked with raspberry pis so raspiOS and linux Mint cinnamon. But i am going to be getting a small PC to test different linux distros on until i find the best one for me. Although Mint has been great so far.
