As the Windows 10 EOL date is close I was wondering what fellow Linux users thoughts about it are.

Are you helping open minded people making the switch to Linux? If yes, which distro are you using? Are you using resources like endof10.org?

Or are you using the the opportunity to get your hands on some cheap hardware for your homelab? Are you keeping an eye on special websites or just ebay (or your local equivalent)? Are you talking with local companies to get the hardware directly from them?

Or are you just observing and enjoy your peace of mind because you switched already to Linux before?

Whatever it is, we are very interested to hear your stories concering this interesting time.

    Moved family mostly to Zorin. I stay with Tumbleweed.

    Keeping Windows on dual boot for some edge cases. For the app or two that doesn’t run with Linux I keep Windows in a virtual machine (which sadly I need once or twice a day).

    95% of my daily business runs on Linux.

    Now I wish my phone would do that too.

      Wth do you need once or twice a day, unless it’s for a niche hobby or work?

        Work. Sadly Linux cannot run most Windows Store apps.

        And there’s some niche software that runs, but crashes too much for my liking. So unfortunately in these cases: Windows.
