I recently learned that Windows 10 will soon be unsupported, and I'm concerned since I don't want to buy a new computer. My PC health app mentions issues with TPM settings and suggests I contact the manufacturer. The problem is, my computer was built by someone about six years ago, and I've lost their contact information. I'm considering switching to Linux as a last resort, but I'm not familiar with it at all.

You can actually install Windows 11 on PCs that don't meet the requirements by using the Rufus app. Just download the Windows 11 ISO through Rufus and it'll let you install it on any computer, even if it’s not technically supported. It's a pretty straightforward process!
Linux has become a lot easier to use recently! I've been using Garuda Linux and Bazzite OS on my devices, which are both great for gaming. If you're looking for a user-friendly option, you might want to try Linux Mint as it feels quite similar to Windows. Just remember to do some research on the limitations and things that might need adjusting, but you can actually get by without ever touching the terminal for basic tasks!
That sounds promising! I've had a little experience with a mini version of Linux through my Chromebook for school, but I'm nervous about switching my desktop. I definitely want to make sure I don't mess it up since it's my main device!
