Apple's (much more) slowly going down to the same "profit over users" road. A year or so ago I started slowly migrating from Apple-only apps to cross-platform apps. Fortunately my main hobbies are YouTube and software side projects so this was pretty easy.

Anyway, when I finally felt my Mac was getting a bit long in the tooth, I loaded Linux (Debian + XFCE in my case, but they say Linux Mint is quite Windows-ish) on my spare gaming desktop (I don't really game much anymore so it was unused), installed the apps, added some Mac-like keyboard shortcuts, and it's worked fine!

Maybe you too can slowly find cross platform alternatives to your apps, so the jump will be easy when your boiling pot gets too hot.

Having skipped over Vista and Windows 8, my hope is that 11 is another one of those versions where they throw crap at the wall that will not stick to the next version. On the other hand, Windows 10 still has things I considered unacceptable, which I ended up accepting begrudgingly. Perhaps that is the whole strategy.
