That's kind of a tough call right now. My PC is about 5 or 6 years old & runs Win10 just fine, but I'm not sure yet if it's compatible with 11. If not, I'll most likely stay with 10 until MS support ends, then consider buying a new system. If my current hardware IS okay, I think I'll hold off for a while this time & let others be the beta testers for a change.
My laptop is a different situation entirely. It's 'only' maybe 4 years old but struggles with Windows 10 lately. It isn't used for much these days, so I'm considering trying Linux. I just haven't worked up the courage to take the plunge. As far as switching to another OS, how is the 3rd party/freeware/shareware/open-source app situation for Apple or Linux compared to Windows? Like many, I have quite a bit of time, effort & money invested in what I use right now and hate to throw that all away - not to mention the learning curve involved in setting up everything from scratch.
