Analysts have warned Windows 10 end of life plans could spark a global torrent of e-waste, with millions of devices expected to be scrapped in the coming years.

Research from Canalys shows that up to 240 million PCs globally could be terminated as a result of the shift over to Windows 11, raising critical questions about device refreshes and the responsibility of vendors to extend life cycles.

Nvidia GPUs require a custom kernel module. If you expect the average user to care that much about their computer, you are silly.

You are doing modifications that are meant for experienced users when youbson’t know what you are getting into

I know exactly what modification I've done and why. In fact, lots of distros ship with these modules then don't update them properly. Despite that I've solved this issue many times. It's just a time-consuming task that I don't want to do. I have other hobbies.

Kindly I propose stopping this stupid discussion because you only half know what you are talking about.

You know nothing of what you talk about. You are extremely biased as you've pointed out in your other comments and proud of it. No one is saying people shouldn't use Linux, people here are saying they don't want a chore for an OS.

Also, your attitude is the biggest reason Linux isn't a popular desktop OS. The Linux community keeps mass adoption away with this sort of attitude. I recommend stopping this conversation at the risk of truly exposing yourself as the angry troglodyte you are.
