Wouldn't that be something if that is also the day that SteamOS and HL3 comes out? One can dream.
What’s happening on Oct 14?
- Windows 10 support ends and many are suggesting that instead of people moving to Windows 11, many will just move over to Linux
  
  Doubt.
  
  Yes, many internet nerds will finally switch to linux. Most normies will just throw millions of computers into the trash and buy win11 approved machines.

  As if anyone would care that support ended. People are annoyed by updates anyway
  
  It's not about people trashing/selling old ThinkPads because Win10 support ended?
  
  Hi, it's me. I'm one of those people. Currently test driving OpenSUSE Tumbleweed in KDE Plasma on an old Chromebook. Liking Linux well enough so far, and i have no special fondness for windows. Just need to find/learn Linux alternatives or work arounds for a few key things, like Cricut and SketchUp. Then I feel like I could easily switch over my main machine and never look back.
  
  I did move to Mint to try it before October, but I am underwhelmed :(
- Crusty, cynical folks, entirely unlike and unrelated to myself, could be tempted to name it the Beginning of Eternal October for Linux.
  
  but why Oct 14, 2025?
- I would also like to know please
