Anything: Series, video game, book, food, old toy from childhood, service, etc. Also, any series which you wish did not end, etc.

Inside Job. Canceling a series when there's a cliffhanger should be illegal!
Also, Windows Mixed Reality, my VR headset is going to become a paperweight when I'll be forced to migrate off Windows 10 in a year.
Upset about both of those too.
The WMR thing is bugging me so much. Like release whatever is needed to open the hardware if you're done with it, jerks!
I have a Samsung Odyssey+ that's a fantastic unit that of course I can't run when I mainline Linux these days. Monado is making impressive gains but the fact that they basically need to hack and reverse engineer the thing out of being e-waste is just messed up.
I really like VR and want to make things for it. But I can't swing a Steam set and there's no way I'm giving a single rotten cent to Facebook if I can help it!
Like others said there's still ways to keep it working but it feels iffy enough that it could just break at any moment =\
Don't migrate off of Windows 10. Switch to the LTSC Enterprise edition, which will continue to get security updates.
You will have to manually install the WMR package on it, though.
Then migrate to Linux and see if there are devs working on open source drivers
You are not the first one suggesting that, I have been dual booting Linux for 10+ years and open-source support for WMR headset is very barebones.
Monado is the only project I'm aware of and it supports the headset only, not the controllers. Not a full solution for most people.
Monado is making impressive strides, but VR is a really tough nut to crack, given how ridiculously proprietary most units are. :(
The controllers especially seem to be giving them a lot of trouble.
I know M$ always extinguishes things it embraces, but they should really just release the WMR code if they're done with ir. An open source WMR implementation would save SO MUCH headache of trying to engineer custom drivers and everything from scratch!
