Microsoft is being sued by a man who feels cheated by the current plans to sunset Windows 10. He makes some good points, but I doubt he’ll win.

    I’m fairly techy have a technical job that involves programming, data, and implementation. And I’m still on Microsoft and stock Android. It’s really not that complicated for some of us. I’m not on my phone or home computer that much, I have a mile long “to do” list. I’d love to switch over, but it’s a super low priority. Even if it would only be a few hours, that’s a few hours I could be doing anything else.

      Windows in particular I think gets overlooked as ‘good enough’, it’s only when you get into Linux that you really understand how far it has strayed from the light.

      You don’t need to spend hours and hours to start, you can dip your toes in with WSL, maybe use a Linux VM for a few tasks that make your life easier at work. It’s not an all-or-nothing affair, but having proficiency in more than one operating system is great professional development regardless of your personal computing preferences.
