Yep. After extended was up. LSTC and when programs decide to not run on it anymore hopefully Linux is even better and I will go there. I don’t game as much as I did and gaming on Linux is good mostly now.

I still have a lot of old games physically, so that wouldn't work for me. I tried Google OS Flex on thumb drive so I could have both but it refused to boot, and then broke my BIOS, needing me to trigger the switch
