Just get Linux and run a Virtual machine if you want to Game on PC

I use Linux for everything, including gaming, but I have a VM with win11 for when I need ads in my os.

I just use Windows 10 v1809 ltsc, I'm good for a few more years.

Or, like me, still on Windows 7, they could just no longer use Steam. Lots of games I can still play on this OS or in my browser. Maybe someday I'll go back to Linux, or maybe even React, just for the hell of it.

I’m one of the many. Hate where tech is headed, I remember hearing about Microsoft wanting to turn windows cloud based with a subscription. Hell no

I wonder how I’d be considered. I use Steam on Linux on one computer, Windows 10 on another, and Mac on another. Maybe I get counted thrice.

pretty sure it's based off of which clients of yours got prompted to do the hardware survey

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Both my windows and Linux client got prompted, but I declined the windows one. Most of my gaming happens on Linux nowadays

My LTSC still has time but yeah, the rest of us should be switching to Linux.

Win 11 is downgrade to Win 10, and I expect Win 12 to be a downgrade to Win 11. I still didnt decide whether Mint or Kubuntu will be the next OS on my pc. I'm pretty sure Windows 12 has no chance.

I like the UI of 11 but not the extra spyware
