Have you or someone close to you converted to Linux recently (with Windows 10's end of support)? (lemmy.ca)

I'd like to hear people's journeys and motivations from people who switched over the last few months, and if there were particular challenges that were faced.

Have you considered a Windows vm? That's how i run that single program that i can't get working on Linux. Yeah it's slow AF on my system, but it's not used often.

Yes, I mean to try running them with VM. The software I need are old and light, so there's a good chance that my laptop can run them.
