Microsoft quietly extends Windows 10 support for another year

Win11 is the slowest, most bloated version and definitely a privacy killer.
I built a PC last year, installed Win11 straight away. No blue screens but it felt slow, laggy, onedrive and unrequested online backup got on the nerve over time, Windows Defender leeching CPU time, enabling bitlocker with no request and severe privacy issues such as Xbox bar and abusive telemetry that now takes screenshots of the desktop were decisive to drop it for good.
Now running Windows Server 2025 desktop experience. It’s much more expensive, harder to set up, had to install mostly all the drivers manually, add and remove components, some powershell and then voi-la: it’s magic. Somehow the PC feels like it gained much noticeable performance gains. Even loading games and running them is consistently faster. Best Windows version overall since Win7, just feels a tad slower than 8 and 8.1.

Back then patching through dial-up internet took almost forever, and you have a limit on internet usage.
Win98 is the least disliked of the windows cursed phase.
So far Win 11 and Win ME are competing for the top spot for "the most hated and disliked windows OS ever".
In third place is Win 8 and 8.1 (Although the telemetry was criticized, it's the UI change that really made it's users angry. It disturbed the muscle memory. A disturbed muscle memory, disturbs the workflow).
In fourth place is Win Vista (though it's not the OS fault. It's that powerful hardware is not yet available when Vista was released. By the time powerful hardware has arrived, Win7 was released.)

That OS was a horror show (though 2nd only to win 11).
The company I used to work for gave up on Me and reverted back to 98 and 2000 until XP came to save the day.

Microsoft should extend windows 10 support until 2028.
By that time, microsoft would have "hopefully" replace their current CEO sloptimus prime, and "probably" release the good phased windows 12 to save us all from the cursed phase windows 11.

Of course people will stay with windows 10 as windows 11 is in the "microsoft curse phase".
Win 95 = ✔️ / good phase
Win 98 = ❌ / cursed phase
Win 2000 = ✔️ / good phase
Win Me = ❌ / cursed phase
Win XP = ✔️ / good phase
Win Vista = ❌ / cursed phase
Win 7 = ✔️ / good phase
Win 8 and 8.1 = ❌ / cursed phase
Win 10 = ✔️ / good phase
Win 11 = ❌ / cursed phase

Sam N8 808 owner, 27 Jun 2026Thank you so much for your pinpointing of the exact edition... moreYeah, W10 LTSC is very stable and more work-oriented. But keep in mind that you'll have to provide your own apps as there is no Store with UWP apps. For audio and video it uses the old Windows Media Player and for Photos it's using the Photo Viewer from Windows 7 if I remember correctly, but anyway I'm not using any of these.

As far as i understand or know is that on Linus you can't play online multiplayer games cause the games don't have support for the Linux system.
Also i don't really think people as gamers who play the single player mode games only. Gamers for me are the people who compete in player versus player games.
