Will this kick start Linux adoption?
It should, but probably not.

Windows 10 is the culprit
Windows 10 was released in 2015
My PC is currently using Windows 11 which was released in 2021
I bought this laptop from Amazon Treasure Truck for 99 bucks

I wouldn't paint Windows 10 as being "old" because it was originally released in 2015.
It's been getting monthly patches since then and it'll continue being supported for 5+ years.

I think the bigger issue would be keeping these machines disconnected from the internet.
No need for patches if it's an isolated system running DOS.

I really wouldn't blame this on windows.
A third party kernel driver that can get remote updates without rigorous levels of testing is just a recipe for disaster.
You could maybe make the case Microsoft should limit kernel level drivers to the level macOS does, but Linux sure doesn't so it's a moot point.
