End support is relative... We were rushing at work to transition from 10 to 11 and found out extended support will be available "cheap" - maybe not cheap to all, but for us +/- $1 per PC per year (enterprise deal). If it's "available" it will continue to be usable for a bit even if you don't get all the patches...

Win11 - seems like MS gargled interface bits and spat them out all over for no purpose other than to confuse you - but it's fairly similar to win10 once you sorta kinda move stuff around with minimal effort.

Mac, yeah, stable, decent, but apple ecosystem can get annoying (please confirm the code on your ipad.. "where is my ipad?"), enter your appleID again again again, and apple builds OS to make older macs obsolescent fast..

I literally have one of each in front of me (win10+11 via RDP to support both at work, personal old Mac for music/banking and photos, Win11 personal for gaming). It's not THAT hard to adapt.

Side note: if mac, apple music BLOWS at managing your library if you do not subscribe to their monthly music service. If like me you had a CD collection that you ripped to Itunes long ago, apple music defaults to theirs all the time, never finds your music when searching, awful. I just paid for something called Doppler. What Itunes/music should have been from day 1. Fantastic for $30 and one time only, not a sub like everything these days.
