I feel for the stubborn Win7 holdouts. Based on what I've seen of windows 11, I flat out refuse to install it. The ad/attention theft situation in 10 was already galling enough. 10 has become better after I found all the checkboxes to disable but the bad taste it left in my mouth has lingered. Hearing it gets even worse in 11 made me realize I want very badly to get off the dark pattern carousel. I sat down and really evaluated what ties me to windows. Not as much as in the past, it turns out. Unity/Godot have linux editors. I'll give Rider a try. Krita/Blender have first class linux support. Of the software I use regularly, the only things that are probably dead in the water are Embergen and Worldmachine. I don't even know if I want to maintain a win10 dual boot or a vm. I'm thinking I'll make a token attempt to get them running in wine, and if there's no play, I'll change my workflow. Both are great software packages, but such is life.
