I switched my gaming system from Windows 7 to 10 (Edu) when Steam stopped supporting 7 and 10 stopped getting feature updates. Has been pretty stable and annoyance-free since then. If I ever need 11 I hope it’ll be after that stops getting feature updates too, but Linux is the more likely future.
Switch over to Linux now - the transition is by far not as harsh as it was a decade ago, and with Wine and accompanying technologies you’ll be running whatever software you need in no time.
I was running Win10 as a gamer, because there was no alternative back then. Nowadays i am somewhat surprised if i stumble across some software i can’t just run, and those are in most cases easily replaceable.
I’ve been using Windows 11 ltsc and that is stripped down with no Windows Store, onedrive, etc. And it just gets security updates. But, has the one feature I did care about with auto hdr.
