I mean, we have no laws about os support.

Imo a very common sense one is to make any software too old to maintain just open source.

Ownership in software should be based on who is willing and capable of maintaining it.

Windows 10 is coming up on 10 years old. Things can't live forever.

MS learned that from XP.

Every OS has a limited life span of support. Linux is no different. Every distro I'm aware of does 5 years or less of support vs Microsoft's 10 years.

I recommend you cut over at least a few weeks before. Not all hardware is always supported. It's a million times better now than it was decades ago, but sometimes(depending on distro) hardware can throw a sold kink in your otherwise perfect log.
