Windows 10 support has already been partially extended to 2028. Currently Microsoft plans on charging for the extensions, but the chances of that changing to free are fairly good. The adoption rate for Windows Home/Pro 11 is not the best for reasons already mentioned, it wont install on everything by default. Windows 11 just recently broke 20% adoption, after how many years? We are already at the Windows 12 cycle time, with little adoption of Windows 11.
In hind sight, limiting Windows 11 installs was probably not the best decision on Microsoft's end. Windows 11 Enterprise adoption is also terrible, which will only help extend Windows 10 Home/Pro/Enterprise even further.... I would not worry about Windows 10 loosing support just yet. I don't think that was Microsoft's plan.....
I doubt we will get a Linux version of Poser. It would make more sense for Linux to improve Wine, etc. Linux is down to 3% of the market share on desktop PC's, which makes it a very niche and small market. Linux cross platform sales offers basically no financial return unless it is a widely and highly used program. Developing Poser for it, would be a loss.
Windows can run and develop Linux code using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). Maybe it is time for Linux to run other platforms code as well.
