People whose hardware is too old to update to Windows 11, What's your plan come October?

I'm currently running an i7-4770 paired with a GTX 970. As much as I would love to, replacing it with modern hardware would be financially irresponsible. Luckily I love to make life difficult for myself so I'm planning to remove windows and switch to Ubuntu (or mint). What is everyone else planning to do come October?

    Windows 10. Just don't install unknown software.

    Some are planning to upgrade their systems with newer CPUs, GPUs, or entire builds, especially with hardware shortages easing.
