Doesn't really matter, since a bunch of other factors will likely make the entire planet more or less uninhabitable long before the Sun itself becomes an issue:

More to the point waaaaay before the planet even becomes uninhabitable by means other than humanities hubris, we would colonize mars and then the moons of saturn/jupiter etc and be able to even survive the sun expanding.

Basically either Humanity is going to destroy itself, or expand first out into our solar system, with technology that will allow us to live anywhere (even creating large space/stations that are self sustaining and can travel from solar system to solar system in search of new places to live).

Technology is actually already there for us to colonize mars, we just have not spent the resources and time to do so, once done, that gives us multiple places to keep expanding from and it's almost impossible at that point for humanity to suddenly end (unless we get invaded by aliens with greater technology, or a space anomaly we do currently know about/understand impacts our sun etc (something like a black hole traveling towards us through space but that is undetectable currently due to it's trajectory and the speed of it's movement relative to our solar system (moving fast enough compared to us would make the light from anything that would block while traveling be gone for so short of a time we wouldn't know it was coming till it got to close to do anything about).

Basically the next 10-20 years will determine the future of the human race almost certainly, there are a few situations where we might stagnate and not develop new technology or very little, and then regress, but they are very unlikely. Pretty much we will become like gods or we will cease to exist within the current generations lifetimes or even Gen Z's lifetime for that matter.
