2024 is the Year of Linux on the Desktop, at least for my boyfriend. He's running Windows 7 right now, so I'll be switching him to Ubuntu in a few days. Ubuntu was chosen because Proton is officially supported in Ubuntu.

Windows 11 is my stopping point. I will use windows 10 until end of life (either myself or the os). BUT knowing windows every other os, the next one after w11 should be OK. Time will tell.

AS a c/c++ rtos Microcontroller programmer reliant on Platform io i pray they dont eol windows 10 before platformio supports Linux os's

Maybe not your particular board, but platformio supports Linux for ages. I worked with that 6 years ago (on arch, btw).

Went back to check and it turns out Microsoft only allows it in vscode and not in vs codium Windows ten might get dropped
