Linux baby!

This. I prefer Free as in Freedom over the amount of control MS has gotten over the OS, in the quite literal sense that is. i.e. they can disable your installation remotely when you are doing things against their ToS. There have already been reported cases of this.

Windows 10 will be the last Windows that will run on my hardware. I expect Linux gaming to be even better than it is now when W10 will completely be obsolete and unusable. Heck, I can already run the majority of my games hiccup free or sometimes even better than the Windows counterpart, no joke.

I already spend the majority of my time in Linux as a developer. I've been using Linux for 10+ years now. Most of my gaming is in Linux except for the rare game that requires specific MS libs that run bad over wine/proton.

From an ideological and privacy standpoint it only makes sense that operating systems become open source. Microsoft already caught on to that idea. People want ownership and control over their products. This is something that W11 increasingly limited. It's not a discussion of benefit vs. time/money discussion any more imo.
