MS had to give up in order to avoid class actions
Furthermore it's more less impossible to dispose millions of PCs in a short time.
I'll change my PC next year

I have loaded and ran Linux multiple times on multiple devices and still just can't seem to get the hang of it for a daily driver. I wish windows didn't exist in a way so I would be forced to stay with it. That way I would have no choice but to learn it. Far as activating ESU for some reason I guess MS just didn't like my old PC build because they would not even allow me to do that with it. It's ok, I just used that old machine to build a TrueNas for the home network and built myself a new damn near completely silent PC with Win11 on it to run as my daily driver and for my audio needs in my office. I would recommend TrueNas to anyone who is fed up with paying for high as hell cloud service. It was a great project.

I am Running Linux Ubuntu on my mini Pcs.

The things linux wont do :

Give Correct ASIO access to the DAC (which is a must for direct mode and correct DSD playback), it can be done but you almost have to be a programmer to figure it out. (I couldn't).
It wont use the GPU for video capture/encoding (OBS Studio), uses CPU only, inefficient.

Windows has to be used for those tasks. Dual boot. Linux for security and privacy, windows for whatever linux wont do.
Everything else like music Streaming services, Spotify, Tidal, Signal (Instant Messenger) all seems to be available for Linux Ubuntu.
Linux is a very light and efficient operating system, no background disk thrashing (like microsoft going through your files).
 
May try dual boot Linux Mint with Windows again. All I do is internet, DAC's some Netflix time to time, movie files thru VLC time to time, Foobar 2000. No gaming or fancy GPU's of any kind. No fancy sound cards inside. I have done that a few time before and it was fine. To be perfectly honest I am thinking more on "downgrading" to Win 10 LTSC. It will give updates till 2032 supposedly.
