Just install OpenBSD and be done with it.

Yeah. It will get security updates for more time, but support for new hardware and potentially software will start to fall away from this year

We're not getting new hardware, statistically, you have your last computer, phone and tv.

Too late (for me), but seeing how things are going, Windows 11 will probably be my last Windows that ever deal with. Will be moving to Linux.

I used Linux for many years from 2005 to probably 2013 or so, and I liked it. I decided to go back a couple of years ago, and now I love it.
