I've planned for this by migrating to Linux; I received a new machine with Windows 11 and was so abhorred by what an abomination it is that I switched my OS after using Windows for what feels like forever. Maybe 2025 will be the year of Linux on the desktop and we'll have Microsoft to thank? I know I have Microsoft to thank for opening my eyes to a Linux desktop.

Yea someone just posted similar thoughts the other day. Microsoft making windows worse is making linux desktop environments look much better.

I am a fan of pop_OS.

I've done the same. I've used Linux for 15-20 years for various things, but never on my main desktop because of games. But now Steam on Linux makes running games very easy. Not every game works, but there are a lot that do, and I rely on Windows less and less for gaming. Hopefully one day I can blow away my Windows partition.
