The die hards will not switch to Linux; they're called "die hards" for a reason. But, I'm sure the people who prefer Windows 7 but aren't zealots of it might switch. Linux has been making tremendous progress in the past 2 years. The die-hards struggle enough as-is dealing with the relatively minimal differences of Windows 10, so switching to a whole different OS with some pretty substantial differences isn't gonna happen. They will cling onto Windows 7 the same way XP die-hards did. Of course, I would like to clarify there's a difference between your average Windows 7 user and the die-hard users. There are a few people here who use Windows 7 for practical reasons, such as compatibility or stability. The only difference between the XP days is there's not really a clear future of where Windows will be by 2023. Not like I care - if they want to be left behind, not my problem.

And just last week...
At Microsoft, we make every effort to respond to customer feedback, so when we received this feedback from Blizzard and other developers, we decided to act on it. Microsoft is pleased to announce that we have ported the user mode D3D12 runtime to Windows 7. This unblocks developers who want to take full advantage of the latest improvements in D3D12 while still supporting customers on older operating systems. Today, with game patch 8.1.5 for World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth, Blizzard becomes the first game developer to use DirectX 12 for Windows 7!... https://devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/world-of-warcraft-uses-directx-12-running-on-windows-7/

Being a Windows 8.1 user feels like being trapped between a rock and a hard place.

Windows 7 is a much stabler operating system than 10 I will make a bet that within one week there is another Windows 10 screw up thread.
I used to have a blue screen every now and then in Win 7. Havnt had any of them in Win 10 since i started using it in 2016. (And yes, it even happend on a fresh install)

Yes, they could quite clearly have supported DX12 on Win7 but choose not to because they want to sell newer windows.. The amount of consumer manipulation is through the roof.
