Analysts have warned Windows 10 end of life plans could spark a global torrent of e-waste, with millions of devices expected to be scrapped in the coming years. 

Research from Canalys shows that up to 240 million PCs globally could be terminated as a result of the shift over to Windows 11, raising critical questions about device refreshes and the responsibility of vendors to extend life cycles.

    I think it’s mainly businesses and not users who will keep using it without support.

    As for the other I switched to Linux, but I can’t seem to keep it running. I currently have no computer until I get another distro onto a bootable USB. Fortunately my /home partition seems fine but my root partition broke. It would start in recovery mode but not otherwise. Tried fixing it and now it’s broke worse.

    I’m a very technical person. Expecting people to move to Linux because they don’t want or have TPM2.0 is not going to work.

      It would because they don’t do stupid things with their PC unlike technical people like you and me. My dad has a laptop running Linux for years now and it never broke because he doesn’t mess with it.
