Your point about Win10 EOL is interesting. I was aware of it; I don't really like what I see in demos of Win11; I'm putting off a decision about that

Procrastination may be good in this case because of credible reports similar to this one:

Let’s be clear from the start: Microsoft hasn’t officially commented on whether it's developing Windows 12. But credible leaks, rumors, and other indicators strongly suggest we'll get a Windows 12 in 2024—much quicker than the move from Windows 10 to Windows 11.

FWIW, my move to Windows 11 was totally unplanned, I just happened to buy a new laptop at a discount price with Windows 11 pre-installed.

Though I'm not a huge fan of the new Windows 11 UI, I'm a command line guy, so it doesn't bother me as much as some of the replies to this thread (BTW, I found the complaints about how much disk space is needed to run Ubuntu ridiculous, given the size and cost of hard disks nowadays :).

By far my favourite feature of Windows 11 is WSL2 Ubuntu Linux, which has worked like a charm, and is a much nicer command line environment than Windows (yeah, I know I should also install Cygwin, as you have done, just haven't got around it because I've been so happy with Ubuntu). 

👁️🍾👍🦟
