As the Windows 10 EOL date is close I was wondering what fellow Linux users thoughts about it are.

Are you helping open minded people making the switch to Linux? If yes, which distro are you using? Are you using resources like endof10.org?

Or are you using the the opportunity to get your hands on some cheap hardware for your homelab? Are you keeping an eye on special websites or just ebay (or your local equivalent)? Are you talking with local companies to get the hardware directly from them?

Or are you just observing and enjoy your peace of mind because you switched already to Linux before?

Whatever it is, we are very interested to hear your stories concering this interesting time.

but there’s still reasoning to have Windows

For sure. There's a lot of software that's built for Windows only. I have some Garmin aviation software that only works on Windows or Mac. It's pretty shit software, but I have to use it, and since I can do windows in a VM, that's what I use. Similarly, there's another bit of software I use all the time that's only built for iPad. So I have an iPad for that app. There's not always a choice.
