      I love Linux and use it myself, but not everyone is ready to move.

      For them, an extended Windows 10 EOL is a nice bridge to give them some more time to plan a main OS install (backup all their data, test replacement apps, etc) as OP said. It’s not about knowledge or capabilities it’s about options, time and many people waiting until they can afford a new PC build to move to linux.

      My laptop is Linux. My desktop is staying win 10 a while longer because it’s compatible with a couple online games I still play every so often.
