Rather than support Microsoft's bad decisions, I bought my first Mac instead of a Windows PC.

I prefer Mac too, but don’t forget that Apple typically only supports devices for seven years befote being declared ‘vintage’, after which time they will be ineligible for updates.

Windows 10 on the other hand was released over ten years ago now.

Not the best comparison, but it’s increasing more difficult to separate their OS support lifecycles from their M* hardware.

I did not know that, but I'm basically using this as a bridge to either fully use Linux more than I already do, or switch to windows 12 when it becomes a thing, if it's not worse, so I don't care about very long term support at this time. Plus I get access to a different ecosystem to help keep things fresh in the meantime.
