Businesses can’t be expected to indefinitely support a piece of technology for free.

Of course not but they themselves announced long ago that win10 will be EOL'd in October 2025. Then later they announced that you can buy extra support for plenty and increasing amounts of money. And now this.

Though even longer ago they announced that win10 will be the last windows ever.

So windows 10 isn't EOL'd in October 2025 after all.

Remote Desktop over SSH ? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

X11 can be easily forwarded over ssh. You do need to have at least the application you want to forward installed on RPI, possibly X11 as well. You also need a X11 server on the other side.
