Anyone who still needs to run Windows 10 for whatever reason should switch over to Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 (version 21H2) which will continue to receive security updates up through 2032. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-health/rel...
Linux is free and less wasteful on resources on the other hand.

It is, and if you can switch, it’s highly recommended. I have some pretty bespoke old RS-232 Windows software that was an absolute disaster to get working under Debian with Wine a few years back, so I (and others) might still need to keep a copy of Windows around.
Can’t wait till Fable 6 can just decompile and reimplement old software like that.

Does that support modern gaming?
"modern gaming" being a euphemism for "more proprietary software that has chained us to even worse proprietary software for decades".
The old "Windows alternates good and bad releases" rule is dead and buried. Every major version since Windows 7 has been a downgrade on what came before. I'd rather be using Windows 8 than Windows 10 and you will have to drag me kicking and screaming into Windows 11.
Why does Windows 11 still have "Control Panel" and "Settings", both of which are similar but entirely different? I hate Microsoft, I was very happy with Windows 10 but Windows 11 is different for no reason except to be different.
"Quietly" seem to be the most popular headline word this year.
So 10 needs more support.
How do they offer it, according to AI?
Quietly,
quietly,
quiet... L-Y!

Whereas the person you're responding to is adding value, for me at least. I am in what might be an edge-case position where I need to run software specific to Windows and, much more importantly run hardware that uses drivers which seemingly don't work on Windows 11 (I only learnt recently, whilst planning to finally 'upgrade').
I couldn't even begin to do what I do, ably and competently at least, in a Linux environment.
And I've had at least one laptop for general use running some flavour of Linux for about 16 years now.
