Next year Windows 10 goes End of Life. Microsoft will undoubtedly push windows 11 hard, but a lot of machines won’t support it leading to a few economic points of interest:

The demand for new machines will be high, driving up cost.

The supply of unsupported machines will be high, driving down the used market.

Are you all ready?

If MS decides that my hardware is obsolete, I'll just go full Linux 🤷‍♂️

Personally I use Linux Mint on my other machine and Windows on my main PC

Before Windows 10 goes EoL I'm going to get my NAS running a Windows VM for Fusion 360 and Lightroom and my main rig will be on Linux Mint as well

I just need a need to finish my NAS rebuild to get everything rolling at full steam

Unfortunately that means I need to stop buying car parts first

If you wanted to get rid of windows in general, Darktable seems to be a good alternative to lightroom, for raw editing. There's a learning curve, but there are plenty of tutorials available.

Not sure about Fusion 360 though... Maybe FreeCAD?

Unfortunately FreeCAD is not as featur e rich as Fusion 360

It's getting closer but it's not there yet
