Analysts have warned Windows 10 end of life plans could spark a global torrent of e-waste, with millions of devices expected to be scrapped in the coming years. 

Research from Canalys shows that up to 240 million PCs globally could be terminated as a result of the shift over to Windows 11, raising critical questions about device refreshes and the responsibility of vendors to extend life cycles.

I'm called the vast majority. I can't use my software on wine because it's not supported by my vendors. It's nice that you use things, but try working in architecture, civil engineering and construction and let me know how that works for you.

Let me be even more condescending - I use things I need to do my work. I don't jerk off to linux or windows. If there was an option to move to mac I would do it. That's using a thing like normal person, you use thing get money

I disagree, the vast majority just need a browser, your use case may be quite common, but definitely not the majority.
