I also just replaced Windows 10 with Mint recently. I did sadly buy Windows 11 proper at some point for my new office PC, which thankfully has been okay after I turn off the copilot shit. And I'm stuck with it until a few programs get some Linux support.

But regardless, I sure won't be buying anything more from Windows.

    I'm not sure what your use cases and performance requirements are, but Windows works great in a VM.

    I rarely use it, but I happened to fire it up today and after updating it I got a full screen ad to start backing up my computer to their shit.
