Windows 11 keeps trying to install different stuff, notifying you about how great edge is, requires new hardware, and more. Windows 12 is rumored to be cloud only with a subscription?
What will do you?

LOL what? That’s not how OSs work.
Operation of a machine, by definition, requires the machine to work.
All of Microsoft’s other software already exists in cloud form, what those rumors mean, to my knowledge, is that the usual windows suite of programs would be cloud only, requiring a Microsoft account and subscription.
The OS itself by definition can’t be cloud based, they can make it a subscription however.
2 things: First, Windows 12 being subscription only has been “debunked” multiple times, as the source for the article that shouted that from the rooftops was code for Windows 11 - which MS is currently working to have a subscription cloud-based version of for enterprise customers. Second, MS is 100% working on and going to launch cloud based Windows for enterprise customers “soon”. It can be largely cloud based, and all that has to be installed local is instructions for how to log in and access the cloud during boot, and likely won’t be able to do anything itself if the internet is disconnected.
