I won when I ditched windows.
Yeah, it a temporary measure due to people leaving. Microsoft will not change. Linux is far better
I have one gaming PC and it's on windows 10 till kike October or so of this year when security updates go away. Waiting to see if steam OS officially drops for PC so I don't have to switch OS more than once. Already have it running on amd processor and GPU for an easy Linux switch, and been running Linux on my laptop for a while now.
If it has an AMD GPU you can just install it now, no waiting. But it's not good at much more than just playing games, if you want a more general purpose machine I'd install something mainstream like Mint, Ubuntu or Fedora.
It does have amd, but I'm in no big hurry. Couple online games I won't be playing after the windows dump and I'm not interested in dual booting. I have a laptop running Linux for work\office things already. The desktop is just gaming and media.
