I got an email about support ending in October 2025; isn't this still extremely early? Aren't they usually about two or three versions of windows down the line before they end updates?

I don't want windows 11 (and no I don't want Linux either, knock it off); this is ridiculous.

I still use windows 7 in my PC. Why does anybody care about support or updates? If anything those are annoying, it's better if they are gone.

The real problem is dx12 support. Because it's hard to run proton in 7. That's why I'm dual booting Linux.

One big problem is zero-day vulnerabilities.
