6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? (lemmy.world)

Yeah with Linux if it doesn't work you're often just screwed.

This has been my experience for decades. Even if it works, something will suddenly stop working and I'll have no way to fix it without hours of research and messing around.

With windows, I can fix anything quickly through the GUI. But haven't had to in a very, very long time.

I'm going to look at other options. I want to stick with a distro that is fully supported by my laptop to avoid even more issues. But the options are limited.
