As long as 10 is supported, I'm not updating. At least I'm not hammered with ads like on 11.

If 10 is sunset, I'll probably switch back to Linux. I rarely game on my laptop anyway.

Out of like 1000 games I can play about 997 on linux, you'll probably be fine on linux even gaming now

Microsoft already announced Windows 10 will no longer be supported in Oct 2025

If you game via Steam, there's a good chance you can use their Proton layer to play Windows games on Linux.

Ive played wow on linux without an issue as well

Lutris is great!

Installation was a bit tricky but following the guide.. easy peasy.

My gaming rig is linux and it’s only sorta inconvenient

It is a healthy way to look at it, since by the time 10 isn't supported, 11 will be relatively bug free.
