Next year Windows 10 goes End of Life. Microsoft will undoubtedly push windows 11 hard, but a lot of machines won’t support it leading to a few economic points of interest:

The demand for new machines will be high, driving up cost.

The supply of unsupported machines will be high, driving down the used market.

Are you all ready?

    Do you game at all? Gaming on Linux has made great strides, be be fair, but for a lot of titles you still need to consider a dual boot of some form of Windows, thanks to over the top anti-cheat, DRM, and developer support.

    Something to consider for the gamers out there.

      The only titles that don’t work in Linux are the ones with invasive anti-cheat, some multi-player titles.

      Virtually all single players game work. I’ve had games that don’t work on Windows due to crashes / performance but run on Linux.
