At the moment I’m 50/50 between switching over to Linux full-time, or full booting Windows 10 LTSC.
But having had to use it for work, I am adamant in saying that Windows 11 will never touch my home system drive.

Sword of Damocles? More like the sword of Microsoft can go fuck itself!
Pry it from my cold dead hands. I have linux on multiple computers, but it still can’t play all the games and give me my 5.1 surround. Despite all the claims, it’s still not ready for primetime to do all the things windows does.
What's the issue with sound? I thought that was solved since... 15 years or so.
Can't help with the games though, must anti cheat games won't work without developer support. Do what you gotta do, but I'm interested in any issues that should be solvable with some config or swapping out a cheap card or something.
Can’t get the surround on my A50s. Yeah, normal stereo is fine out of the box.
Have you tried messing with either pulsesudio or alsamixer? https://askubuntu.com/questions/1304002/how-to-enable-5-1-sound-on-ubuntu-20-04#1304054
I personally just use stereo on my PC, but I've seen home theater setups w/ surround sound, so I know it's possible.

If I did anything other than use my PC as a glorified gaming console, I might care about w10 not being updated anymore. Until games literally can't work on the OS, I'll stay on it. And when they do stop working, I'll probably just install Linux.

Join us, you know you want to.
They are gonna have to pry windows 10 from my cold dead hands. I was sold 10 on the premise that it was going to be "the last windows OS I would need".
Fuck you Microsoft.
Except it isn't even remotely a sword of damacles situation. 🤣
Yup. There's a big timer, and a ton of alternative chairs you could sit in that don't have a massive sword above them. It's not like there are any surprises here...
