What will you do once windows 10 is deprecated and you have to update to windows 11 or 12? (kbin.social)

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?

Assuming 12 is terrible, that's probably when I'll make the switch to Linux. Hopefully by then, it'll be even smoother for newbies, and work even better for gaming than it already does

I tried out Garuda Linux for a while (had to switch back to Windows because of an automotive ODB II program), and I can confirm that it worked better for Remote Play than Windows. With the runaway success of the Steam Deck, I expect that to only improve.

I keep a spare laptop around just for those occasions when something absolutely requires windows. I don't use it much but it beats the pants off of maintaining a dual boot setup on my daily driver. (I spent like, $200? On the spare. I picked up an "as-is, boots and works fine but has no SSD installed" 12th gen i7 laptop on fleaBay. Absolutely worth it.)
