Once EOL hits I'm switching to Linux.

If I was you I'd start now. Spend some time dual booting or using Linux on a side machine.There is a learning curve.

I recommend buying a separate drive instead of repartitioning your current one. You'll have more space, no nonsense with bootloaders (just switch the drive in UEFI), etc. Configure Linux to know about the Windows drive and then you can boot into either really easily.

When you're ready to ditch windows, just remove/reformat the other drive. I still keep windows around for the 1-2x/year that I want to test something out.
