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.

      If I had to go back to windows, LTSC or whatever equivalent would be the only way. Not gonna catch me using an "operating system" that reminds me of candy crush every time I open the start menu

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