Windows 11 keeps trying to install different stuff, notifying you about how great edge is, requires new hardware, and more. Windows 12 is rumored to be cloud only with a subscription?

What will do you?

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.

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.

I don't think I'll need to update my VMs

LOL what? That's not how OSs work.

Operation of a machine, by definition, requires the machine to work.

All of Microsoft's other software already exists in cloud form, what those rumors mean, to my knowledge, is that the usual windows suite of programs would be cloud only, requiring a Microsoft account and subscription.

The OS itself by definition can't be cloud based, they can make it a subscription however.
