I’m riding out windows 10 to the end of 2026 when security updates stop. My plan is to switch to the hopefully released Steam OS for desktop Linux. Already have amd cpu and GPU for Linux compatibility.
That’s for my gaming desktop computer. I already run Linux Mint on my laptop. My desktop is pretty much just for gaming.
Yes, and it will work out great for me with Nexus mods behind using it as their Linux game testing machine. But I’m in no hurry to drop windows 10 from my current game PC before November. That’s when I’ll pick which distro I want to use. If the official steam OS isn’t fleshed out by then, I’ll likely go with Bazite.

I thought security updates stopped this last October?
there is an opt-in, free, extended update coverage until fall 2026, i think it was in the “updates and security” settings page
Of course the security updates are opt in only, while all their bs is hidden opt out.
There was an opt in for security updates for an extra year (free).
Bazzite is a generic SteamOS clone.
