This raises an interesting point actually... I have a new Win11 machine but my old Win10 one is just being kept around for low level, non essential tasks. I don't have any essential apps left on there really now. I signed up for that extra year of Microsoft support that was offered but when that runs out I guess what a perfect time to have a play with Linux and see what all the fuss is about.

When Linux can give me apps that I need and can use then I switch 100%. Until then will have to keep using 10 for now.

You can always run windows on a VM within linux. You can passthrough any required hardware. And windows actually runs better in a VM than on baremetal.
Personally, I've not needed windows for anything in a while.

Please elaborate how you arrived at this conclusion.
I've got a checklist of what needs to run well in order to switch, but Lutris just gave a big AI fuck you to users so I'm not hopping yet.
The surface pro 3 still runs the same shit it came with in 2016? and my girlfriend mocked me for spending so much money. I guess I gotta move on.
