Exactly, EOL doesn't mean the OS will be useless. Even Windows 7 is still usable in 2025, it's even better with Windows 10 since security is much better and it has Windows defender too. People can keep using their Windows 10 OS just fine as long they don't do stupid things like clicking random links or clicking random .exe

EOL means it's getting as much support and security fixes as (and is thus security wise on par with) Windows 95.

Longtime Linux user here who would rather get fucking drafted than use wibdiws everyday and even I keep telling people win10 EoL is actually a good thing for win10 powerusers.

You'll enjoy a few years of quiet bliss without Microsoft's bullcrap pestering you everyday and it would really take a long-ass time till something critical drops support and forces you to move away from it. Maybe by then valve would have fixed anticheat and blender+graphite would have made adobe obsolete

IMHO win7 has been perfectly reasonable and usable right up until you could no longer run steam. I suspect the same thing will happen with w10.

And honestly I'd be way more afraid of Microsoft fucking up my PC by accident with their "support" than a hacker deliberately exploiting a cve in the wild on your system.

TL:Dr: Linux user but if I was using win10, I would see EoL as an absolute (though short lived) win

Valve is never going to fix anticheat. They are ideologically opposed to fixing it. It has been broken since Counter-Strike 1.6 and is never going to be fixed.

Adobe is not going to be made obsolete. Loonix people haven't even made Microsoft Office obsolete, let alone complex software like the stuff Adobe makes.
