Hopefully I will be on SteamOS or some other Linux distribution by them.

I'm planning on dual booting to test the waters and hopefully phase out windows for good in the next years.
Still too much of a VR player to switch to Linux :/
Might get some hate from this, but... It's not as easy of a transition for everyone as the Linux crowd says it is.
I'm hoping Valve will start putting more effort into SteamVR for Linux and/or Proton for VR.
If Game Maker ends up releasing their Linux IDE in a non-beta state, I'll switch to Linux tomorrow. It's one of the few tools still keeping me on Windows.
Trash my win install. I dual boot with Linux already but I never really use windows. I keep it in case I need for a game...which honestly hasn't happened yet.
I'll complete skip win11. So far there's no reason to upgrade. Win11 should logically be a good windows again.
Do my best to switch from windows to whatever Linux distro I've finally decided on. Anything I really need win10 for will just end up on a VM that I'll probably store a copy of on an external drive. It'll make things so much easier for me that way.
I'd get the best of both worlds, so long as I completely de-creepify the copy of win10 in the VM. Thank goodness there are tools for that.
Actually switch to Linux. I already use Linux for a large portion of my work, so I'm comfortable with it. I just need to find and test some replacements for some Windows software and I should be good
There's also a chance you might get your Windows software working via Wine.
Switch to Linux. In fact, I already switched when Windows 10 came around. I don't miss Windows to be honest. The only time I use Windows is to play games that arent compatible with Linux or if I need to use an app that is only available for Windows.
Looking at Linux Mint or Nobara already
Linux, Gaben be praised for lowering the bridge
I'm already never touching win 11, so if Win10 goes, so do I. No way in hell will I run another MS OS.
