Im on the WIndows 10 Extended support. I'm either going to risk staying on 10, or move to linux. The big problems for me are 1 ) Visual studio doesn't run on linux so I'd either have to learn a new editor or do a VM... I suppose 2) Gaming. A lot can happen in 8 months for improvements. But this might be the thing that holds me on Windows for a while. Saw a video of native Dota2 on linux runs like shit. 3) A solid remote desktop replacement. One that's as good or better than what I'm using.
For coding, you could use VSCode, which is not the same as VS but it has enough extensions to probably support your use-case?
There's also KATE and some other project written in Rust, if you want a proper application and not just a glorified website running locally.
