Petition Calls on Microsoft to Extend Windows 10 Support
www.pcmag.com
'Bad for consumers [and] bad for the planet,' PIRG says of Microsoft's decision to end support for Windows 10 in 2025, even though an estimated 1 billion PCs can't upgrade to Windows 11.

I’m all for it.

    Don’t really care. Once this PC can’t run Windows 10 anymore, it’s getting Mint.

    I’ve recently come to realize all of the games I actually like to play, run just fine on Linux. YMMV, of course.

        I know you said don’t even start, but I’m curious lol.

        I’ve used blender a lot, I’ve never used 3DS Max though. What would you say are the biggest issues with Blender in your scenario?

            Yeah I do archviz and bim work and I’ve tried my hardest for years now to switch primarily to blender but even with all the plugins in the world I still can’t use it as a primary replacement. And don’t even get me started on some people’s insistence that FOSSCADs are anywhere near feature parity for any in depth workflow with autodesk’s suite.

            I don’t use Windows/Mac over Linux because I love them, I use them because a computer is a toolkit and I need specific tools.

        Given the amount of progress on getting 3D games to work well under wine/proton lately, I wonder if it’s possible/practical to run 3ds Max under it yet? The only test results I can find for it are ancient.
