I'm kinda just transitioning out now. I have some projects to wrap up on Windows 10 LTS that use programs that wouldn't run well through WINE. When those are done, I'll make use of Linux alternatives to that project software, and pretty much just have my Windows boot available for dire emergencies.
As it stands, most of my gaming is transitioned over, and my Windows partition just has enough space for a few games after project work.
Same boat. W10 LTS until I'm finished wrapping up some loose ends.
Then I'll do a VM with GPU passthrough on an old Windows for non critical things.
I never loved or trusted Microsoft, but this (not just the uninvited transformers, all of it) is beyond unacceptable to me.
