I'm going to upgrade to Ubuntu

Until the AI stuff I would have loved to get an upgrade. Now... Not so much. And good thing my computer doesn't qualify due to their arbitrary standards.

Genuine question: why not try Linux? You'll continue to get updates without the nagware. There are very few games I play that cant run on proton at this point.

Multiplayer gaming. I love games like Foxhole and they usually have a bit of trouble on Linux.

With my TPM chip off I do not qualify either, I guess at some point windows will upgrade without my intervention then be bricked, plz Proton make the 70 missing vr titles in my library work, you are my only hope!

We'll see. I've set the Group policy to limit feature updates to Win 10 22H2. I will be unhappy if they over-ride or reset a GPO.

Can't be nagged about Windows 11 if you never switched to SecureBoot.

Can't be nagged about Windows 11 if you ~~never switched to SecureBoot.~~ use Linux.

And when you try to install, they'll say "no you can't, get a new computer"

Microsoft is really in to the Year of Linux Desktop thing

Not as bad as a recent security patch which unexpectedly upgraded Windows Server 2022 to 2025 causing at least a few outages I know about for our clients.

as per usual, Microsoft remains the biggest advertiser to Linux

Makes sense, they are a big contributor to the kernel
