I'm no longer a gamer so destroying a VM cos of an update i wansnt expecting, its me, not you.
I dont like Macs, but do have a gander at OpenDarwin... ok I'm way out the loop, apparently its PureDarwin now...

Darwin was kinda the core to some gens of Mac OS, its as far as I know a fork of Solaris, which was the OS for Spark workstations by Sun Microwhatever...
They were taken over by ORACLE... Sun was a god of tech and when ORACLE bought them out I cried.
ETA: ORACLE would not honour Sun contracts with us at a place I once worked, and they wouldnt let me take any Spark64 workstations. They suck.
I’ll check it out when I buy my next gaming pc and turn this one into Linux box.

When is the last day to do it free ?
I’m out of the loop… didn’t know they were going to start charging.
you can go make a win 11 install usb drive right now for free. Then you don’t have to worry.

Have you looked at Zorin OS? It's built in a way for windows users to easily migrate. It is setup for WINE and STEAM. I have used Linux on and off since the 90s but as my main OS for 15 years. I only use Windows for my DAW now.

Really liked zoren… elementary os was my goto as a Mac guy and windows 11 feels like elementary os, that’s why I liked it until update ruined my system… I know correlation is not causation but my Bluetooth was working fine until that update. Now I’ll have to get an add-on card or do without.
I use puppy for formating hard drives sometimes. I also liked solace. Mint was ok but just didn’t resonate with me. Liked running it on usb to fix windows. Ubuntu I just didn’t like. I know some of these are Ubuntu based but still… pop os just was broken and wouldn’t work. Tried manjaro and didn’t like it. Arch was too much to learn.
if I had to do one today I would do elementary. It seemed most stable with least hassle on the pcs I was using.
all my info is years old though… 2018 or so I spent a year daily driving Linux for web, email, paperwork etc… all music is on my Mac and gaming is windows. I tried steam gaming on Linux and it was just too much work and to much missing. So I’m years out of the Linux loop…
