Joke's on them, I switched to Linux for good, and I'm not coming back.
Used Windows 10 for a while, mostly for gaming, while for development work I relied on WSL. While I think Windows is okay, I sort of dreaded the move to Windows 11.
So I tried moving to Linux and honestly, I couldn't have done better. Things like Proton and WINE are being excellent for running games and Windows applications. I can't find a single reason to switch back now. I've been at this for a couple of months and not once I thought "oh crap, I need Windows for that".
If anyone is in the same situation I used to be, holding onto Windows for being able to play their game Library, give it a try. With minor tinkering everything works like a charm.

Probably the only thing I run Windows for (and that's a VM on Linux) is to run HP's Document Scanner software for my HP 426 MFP. I keep hoping great things for Wine and Reactos but, for the moment at least, I'll have to keep on relying on Windows 7 on VirtualBox for my scanning.
