Microsoft Is Now Being Sued Over Sunsetting Windows 10 (lifehacker.com)

Microsoft is being sued by a man who feels cheated by the current plans to sunset Windows 10. He makes some good points, but I doubt he'll win.

Windows in particular I think gets overlooked as 'good enough', it's only when you get into Linux that you really understand how far it has strayed from the light.

You don't need to spend hours and hours to start, you can dip your toes in with WSL, maybe use a Linux VM for a few tasks that make your life easier at work. It's not an all-or-nothing affair, but having proficiency in more than one operating system is great professional development regardless of your personal computing preferences.
