Windows 10 gets three more years of security updates, if you can afford them::Windows 10 gets a version of the program that extended updates for Windows 7.

Congrats on being in a low functioning desktop niche environment which is probably unusable for most users. Nearly every distro has an eol.
For Enterprise Editions.
No? Ubuntu 18.04 went EOL just this past April, and for reference it was released in 2018.
ew, LTS user. lol.
Actually, 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) doesn’t go EOL until 2028 : ubuntu release cycle, and Ubuntu is very much targeted at enterprise users, it’s what Canonical’s entire profit model is focused around.
The thing is, one version of a distro going EOL doesn’t turn a shitload of hardware into e-waste.
The drivers have to be dropped from the kernel to truly be EOL which doesn’t happen until nearly everyone has already moved on which could be 20y possibly even more from when the hardware was first manufactured. Meanwhile my 2018 & 2020 hp laptops are completely dropped in Windows 11.
The EOL is 2023, the pro support EOL is 2028.
While I get what you’re saying, everything is echoed pretty easily to windows, apart from the fact that it doesn’t have distros (for the most part.)
And to be clear, Windows 11 can be installed on any device Windows 10 can, just needs a clean install and/or some tweaking.
I’ve tried installing Windows 11 on my 2020 HP laptop. It does not work, no amount of tinkering will save it.
Easiest and least tinker way is to just use Rufus.
Doesn’t work.
Just to be clear, it’s not a TPM issue or anything like that. It’s pure driver fuckery.
Which might be on HP or Microsoft, idk. But either way, Windows 11 will not work. Windows 11 won’t work on the 2018 laptop either, but that’s a spec issue.
