I took this approach at windows 7’s end of life. Eventually you will notice little things breaking, then there will be a watershed moment that will drive you to linux very suddenly, so be ready for that. In my case, it was Steam and Firefox completely breaking simultaneously.
Honestly there’s not much that’s holding me back from switching to Linux, i don’t play that many online games, just Warframe at the moment which is kinda disappointing because it’s mostly f2p and they still don’t have Linux support and i mostly just play it on and off lately because 7 years is a long time to play 1 game, i mostly enjoy offline games and most should work on Linux, the only one that is worrying is S.T.A.L.K.E.R. G.A.M.M.A. and it could run better on Linux but i’m too lazy at the moment to switch to Linux completely, i do have 2 laptops and 1 old PC running Linux Mint and it’s a surprisingly smooth transition, so yeah probably going to delay it till stuff starts breaking then switch and be like “i should have done it sooner”.
Haven’t checked in a while, does seem to have issues here and there but maybe the great Windows exodus will inspire DE to look into proper Linux support.

Looks like Warframe works just fine on Linux: https://www.protondb.com/app/230410
