Lots of PCs are poised to fall off the Windows 10 update cliff one year from today

Pretty telling when the only way you can get your users to "upgrade" is by stealth. I wonder what the % of involuntarily upgraded win11 users is vs people who knowingly and willingly did so.
I would've upgraded to 11, but either my computer doesn't support TPM or I just refused to turn it on. So instead I upgraded to Ubuntu. There are probably better distros but I had a limited about of time to fuck around trying them.
Mint is pretty nice, too. It felt familiar, as a windows user. But I kept installing stuff that broke the updater. So I switched and found it's me, not the updater, and I just need to do
apt update/upgrade
anddpkg -i
regardless, but anyway now I'm on Ubuntu.I still have my full windows install on an SSD somewhere if I had an emergency, but I haven't had any such emergency in about a year.
