My pc isn't compatible with Win11 (unsupported cpu) and since I'm poor, I'm not getting a new one anytime soon.

Besides, Win10 is great.

And when it's end of life and open season for hackers, just switch to Linux

I'd say switch now, if you're going to switch eventually anyways, why wait?

This is a good point. I use windows for gaming and Linux as my daily driver.

If someone has a Nvidia GPU, hopefully by that time Nvidia will actually support Wayland properly. And more work will have pushed to all the big distro's for HDR and fractional scaling support. So it might be beneficial to wait those couple of years

I'm a gamer, so that isn't a viable option for me. I know that it's starting to get better thanks to the Steamdeck but it has a long way to go.
