End of 10 is a campaign to move people over to Linux with Windows 10 support ending

Yes, they want to keep it - and so there is a problem.
* They should not keep it due to security reasons. (I fear though many people will ignore this.)
* Windows 11 has higher hardware requirements - for no good reason. (Which is very different from the situation back in '98, when computers did get faster all the time and higher requirements did have a good reason.)
* Many people will be surprised to find that they might need to actually buy the new Windows. The free upgrade from Windows 7/8 does not constitute a Windows 10 licence and thus they might not be able to use it for a free 10-to-11 upgrade.
I'm not saying the big exodus will be happening. But even people happy with Windows do have reasons to change this year.

But people still on Windows 10 are not necessarily unhappy. They just want to hold on to it and not move to something slightly different. The stop from W10 to W11 is not bigger than W95 to W98 was.

I wonder why they're doing it manually per bundle, obviously. Should be something that can be calculated automatically.

Frostrail from the devs of Barotrauma 'eager' to support Linux with a 'tentative yes'

A tentative yes is effectively a no. It reveals a lack of commitment.
Linux/Mac support is also kept in mind every step of the way... makes me optimistic. Problems mainly arise if you're doing it as an afterthought.
