Windows 10 LTSC 2021 edition has support until January 13th 2032.

I’d obviously prefer if more people gave Linux a try but if you’re literally forced to use Windows then it’s probably your best option right now.

If my Nvidia graphics card played nicely, I would.

It’s my #1 complaint with Linux… Well Nvidia.

Progress in that regard is actually pretty rampant lately, I can imagine by the time Windows 10 is EOL it will be no different from AMD.

Well, it will be slightly different. AMD releases open source drivers. That’s why it works so much better. Nvidia releases proprietary ones and let’s the community handle the open source ones. To the end user, there probably won’t be much difference eventually, but it does hurt progress so they’ll always be slightly behind where they could be.

Not sure what you have, what your trying to do, and am pretty new to Linux myself, but I’m running KDE neon with a 3070, and after a little work to get drivers updated I’ve had minimal issues!

I’m not doing anything too crazy though, mostly web browsing and gaming is all.

What card you using? I have a RTX 3080 and it’s worked fine on Endeavour/KDE (besides Wayland)
