As Windows 10 end of life approaches, analysts are concerned that millions of devices will be scrapped due to incompatibility

Analysts have warned Windows 10 end of life plans could spark a global torrent of e-waste, with millions of devices expected to be scrapped in the coming years. 

Research from Canalys shows that up to 240 million PCs globally could be terminated as a result of the shift over to Windows 11, raising critical questions about device refreshes and the responsibility of vendors to extend life cycles.

    The cause is what should matter because that’s what could influence future decisions.

    And there is no Wayland mandate anyway so I don’t understand that side of the argument either - there is no “Linux” in this room who decided to switch…

        See and that’s what’s backwards from my point of view. Even though I was on win mainly back then I refused to buy Nvidia because of their shitty practices.

        I’m talking about your and my behavior not about anyone else. :)

            My base opinion is flexibility. You blamed first Linux then Wayland now you’re what about AMD… What’s YOUR point?

            You can stick with windows and Nvidia your whole life all I ask is not spread your bullshit from your OP.
