I got an email about support ending in October 2025; isn't this still extremely early? Aren't they usually about two or three versions of windows down the line before they end updates?

I don't want windows 11 (and no I don't want Linux either, knock it off); this is ridiculous.

    Windows Vista, 7, 8, and 8.1 all had 10-year support spans like this, it's just the fact that Microsoft has slowed down releases that makes it feel shorter. You can chill on W10 LTSC until 2032 if you really want. W11 Pro will allow you to get rid of most annoying things via group policy.

        Even then it's wild how feature-rich KDE plasma is ottb comparatively.

        The only thing more pleasant than KDE's features and stability these days is how resource-efficient it is. We are well beyond the bad old KDE4 days where bugs and crashes were the norm and it was a RAM and CPU hog. Modern KDE is just a joy to use.
