Windows 11 keeps trying to install different stuff, notifying you about how great edge is, requires new hardware, and more. Windows 12 is rumored to be cloud only with a subscription?

What will do you?

We will have to see what happens with Win12 as more info releases. Windows seems to follow a pattern of good > bad > good, where 10 is "good" and 11 is "bad", so maybe 12 will end up decent?

If Win12 ends up being garbage, then I guess I'll take another hard look at Linux. Hopefully game support will be better by then. Proton is nice for sure, but not quite where I would need it for some of the games I play.

This is my current stance. Wait and see - if Windows 12 ends up being garbage, I'll consider Linux. It's simply that Linux isn't compatible with enough Windows software right now that trying to transition wouldn't be seamless. Hopefully that'll change in a couple years, but we'll see

Hmmm. From what I've read, they were looking at making 12 subscription based and with more advertising opportunities. I'll probably just keep 10 rolling a little longer, and make a Linux switch eventually. Hopefully, after 11, Microsoft gets their shit together and realizes the path they are going down is not going to end well.
