I think we're starting to see the beginning of the end of the Windows hegemony, for one reason: the success of the Steam Deck has made gaming on Linux mainstream. The two things that have always kept power users tied to Windows have been games and office, but GAMES were the big one. Suddenly, it starts to look like it might be possible to do without Windows for gaming, if not now, then soon.

I'm still on Win10 but I just can't see myself moving to win11, it's ugly and I hate if. If I need to get a new OS in the foreseeable future it's gonna be Linux.

This will help get rid of some of the bloat. I run this on every w11 install I do.

Once Windows 10 ceases to be supported, I'm moving to Linux. By that time, the majority, if not all the games I play and want to play will be supported.
