For a gaming desktop are there any realistic options I'm overlooking besides:
- acquiesce to everything Win11 entails
- be a weirdo and run a server SKU
- run insecure EOL OS on hardware
- run insecure EOL OS on some less-begrudged hypervisor
- fully migrate to preferred Linux distro and sacrifice some amount of game compatibility, though less than I'm conditioned to believe per https://www.protondb.com/
I have no Windows-specific software other than games.
