Switching to macOS as my daily driver years ago. Seeing the enshittification of Windows in the last ten years has been pretty breathtaking.
Side note, switching to Linux (hell yeah CachyOS!) for gaming has been a pretty rewarding endeavor. It has plenty of pitfalls, but I work in tech, and that’s half the fun. The other half was that I re-imaged my Windows 10 gaming PC to be a CachyOS gaming PC, for free, and CachyOS wasn’t all like “your hardware is too old, create e-waste and buy a new one with a Copilot button on it”.

Give it time, Apple will decide your Mac is not ”powerful” enough for their feature updates, that device will get left behind as well.
At least there is some hope of installing Linux on it but the driver support will likely be horrendous.
Yeah, I have seen the service life be in the 5-0 yer range. I see that as acceptable for a daily driver computer.
