I just came across this incredibly detailed guide yesterday. It’s my new go to for those looking to switch. It’s a pick-what-you-want guide. Do as much of it or as little as you want. But I was in preparation to write basically this and this guy did a much better version in 2 months:

when do they roll out that pay for support instead of being forced to windows 11
With ~~end of life~~ the year of the Linux desktop fast approaching.
I was able to upgrade to Windows 11 on my dinosaur desktop (at least 10 years old) without any issues. Been able to keep it updated, too, for at least the last 2 years.
There are ways to bypass certain hardware restrictions, and I'm sure plenty of how-tos are still available.
No need to sweat it.
Some people just don’t want to switch. I find windows 10 is still better than windows 11. I only updated on my gaming PC because it automatic updated.

I switched my desktop to mint a few weeks ago. Kept win10 on a separate drive, but I haven't booted it since.
Eh I just installed 10 in a VM to do my taxes
