Buddy, some of them still use windows 7π
really? how can i use win 7 right now?, are there any issues using win 7 rn?
I'm certain there would be a pile of unpatched vulnerabilities with windows 7.
I would not recommend it.

i'll upgrade to some baby Linux distro once the end of life hits, i am lazy
(i'd also need to set up a dual boot as i'm cursed to need Adobe apps and those are famously allergic to Linux)
Donβt do dual boot. Windows will purposefully fuck up your MBR so Linux disappears every update and itβs a bitch to fix.
Run that shit in a VM. Itβs 2025 you will get good performance.
so whats the solution about adobe product,
are there any alternatives to use on linux?

nope, adobe apps are allergic to VMs too, less so but still. believe me i'm not hyped about having a whole dedicated OS just so i can run 4 programs, but dual boot is my only option
since i'll set all that up past end of life for win10 i won't be getting any security updates so i can safely just disable that option altogether, which will hopefully make the two OS coexist peacefully
I think the dual boot problems are generally associated to using the same drive. If you have one drive for each you can use BIOS to control boot order instead.
That's been my experience as well. Dual boot, separate drives. Never had Windows touch it.

when do they roll out that pay for support instead of being forced to windows 11
Windows 10 is still supported currently. When that changes I will update to windows 11, until then I have no reason to do so.
