I feel good about cancelling my 365 subscription, and I will continue to feel good about switching to Linux when windows 10 hits end of life. Not giving this company another dime.
I recommend you to do the switch now. Linux is more accessible than ever and there is no reason to give them any more of your data. Also it helps you to transition step by step where it might take a bit longer to get used to a different way of doing things.
I've been considering Linux for a while now, but I play games between 4 and 8 hours pr day. Is Linux and gaming still a problem or?
Depends on the game and your hardware. Most games runs just fine under proton. Valve have done a great job there.
Hardware has never been an issue for me but I read here somewhere that they had 10-15% less performance on Linux. ymmw.
