I have Win 10 Home running on four machines with Classic Shell as the UI. Runs fine now and may be soon history if MS messes around too much. Installed Linux Mint on an older retired machine for trial and was impressed with the performance.

Yup- i dual boot linux mint and windows 7- linux mint hardly ever causes my vid card to sound like it’s going to rattle apart- but when i fire up windows- it taxes the card something fierce some times- running linux mint is a nice quiet experience- especially with an SDD- runs a lot cooler too- Wish i had switched years ago really- and just kept windows for some windows only programs like photoshop- to use OFFLINE only

Classic Shell is what makes it possible for me to use Windows 10 (or 8) without throwing it through a window.
