I feel good about cancelling my 365 subscription, and I will continue to feel good about switching to Linux when windows 10 hits end of life. Not giving this company another dime.

I recommend you to do the switch now. Linux is more accessible than ever and there is no reason to give them any more of your data. Also it helps you to transition step by step where it might take a bit longer to get used to a different way of doing things.

I've been considering Linux for a while now, but I play games between 4 and 8 hours pr day. Is Linux and gaming still a problem or?

[–] Darxium@lemm.ee 17 points 1 week ago

It depends on the game, although the overall situation has improved recently. Multiplayer games tend to have more issues due to their anti cheat software, which often doesn't support Linux.

I recommend you check these pages for compatibility in your preferred games in case you want to try:
