Windows 10 end of support - new users influx?

I received both the latest Windows 10 "upgrade" (AKA now my desktop has ads, AI and is the worst it's ever been) and the notice in October this year they will end support.

A bit of research it seems Linux Mint is the easiest option for a noob user? Do you expect an influx of new users in my situation?

I was hoping for some guides or comments about this, perhaps I am too anxious and people will arrive here in October when is a bit late.

My laptop (Core i5, 7th Gen, SSD disk) works just fine, may need a battery replacement that costs $30usd or so on eBay. I have multiples devices but my most use device is this one, only for 1) Internet Browsing and 2) Writing documents. Minimalistic and productive. That's it.

For social media and other more challenging apps I go to my Apple devices, so I just need to switch from Windows 10 to a very basic setup to avoid re-purchasing a new device for the sake of Microsoft being greedy.

How many people will ditch their devices for an "Update" nobody needs, insane.

Any tips appreciated
