    The same thing happened with Windows 7 and XP. People will still with EOL 10 until their current machine dies. A few people might choose to explore other options, but for the average Joe not getting updates seems like a good thing, because the computer will stop rebooting over night or taking several mintss to boot post patch. Of course they don’t think about the security implications, but that is true about most people in most cases.

      I have no real reason to upgrade to 11 from 10. My system doesn’t have any hardware that 11 can take advantage of better than 10. At this point I’m just waiting for 11 to finish baking or 12 to roll out. 11 doesn’t natively have a vertical taskbar… like… come’on. Who needs a 32" wide taskbar?

        I have been running a vertical task bar since Windows XP and have been on KDE as well(like now). The fact it’s not an option for Windows 11(my work laptop) drives me insane.

        So many wasted pixels. :/
