That petition and a nickel is worth about 5 cents. Go get a better OS.

That just means more cheap, used hardware available for us Linux users in a couple years.

Unfortunately most users will just keep using 10 even after security patches are no longer released. Eventually they'll just get new hardware. Eventually.

At this point I'm mainly still on Windows because it is the easiest thing to do - I know how to use it and it is already installed on all my PCs. At least 3 of my PCs are eligible to upgrade to Win11 (2 are not), but I have no plans to ever upgrade. So, when security updates stop, that will be my motivation to give Linux another try.

Give me back my custom taskbar location and then we'll talk.

These people... "please, let me continue being a Microsoft slave!".

Free yourselves and install Linux.
