      Since I would want someone to mention to me, if I was being jerked around by Microsoft while just wanting to enjoy my Steam library:

      You’ll be surprised how much of your Steam library runs (with minimal effort) on Bazzite Linux and it’s probably less hassle to install than doing a Windows downgrade.

          I wondered, since you sounded like you already had researched the situation. That sucks.

          Oof. I guess Windows 10 will have to do then.
