Right now my computer isn't supported by Windows 11 so I have some time. But seeing this crap coming eventually in my future, I started dual booting Linux Mint to see if I could live with it. Turns out I like it better than windows. I haven't booted my window partition in weeks. When I finally upgrade my computer it will probably be running solely on Linux now and maybe have Windows 7 running in a virtual box for the very few programs I still need it for.
None of this would have happened had Microsoft not pushed their corporate enshitification past my threshold. Thanks Microsoft.
Depending on the software you need and how technical you are, Wine and Bottles may be a solution to not need an VM.
As a noobish user, I found it easier to use lutris. I think I'll mess with bottles again, but i couldn't get it to work for me.
