How long will we be able to use 10 after EOL? Would companies immediately stop updating their apps?

As long as you want, assuming that you’re fine with the security risks and everything that’s rendered incompatible in the future.

I’ve seen POS systems in local burrito shops still running Windows 7… native, not a VM…

To be honest, Windows 7 is best Windows for me but no existing applications can be used on it. So I hope I can use Windows 10 until game compatibility on Linux passes the threshold I’m looking for :)

Depending on your game preference it may be already there in some aspects

Basically it depends on the kind of anticheat the game has

if you’re running a single instance of a game it’s already there. (I multibox so fuck me I guess)

if you’re waiting for native support it’s a chicken and egg scenario, your best bet is to switch asap and show developers there’s a market.

Don’t a lot of gas pumps still run on MS-DOS?
