I want to move to Linux, but I need to be able to use the VPN service my work uses and I'm just not sure how to get it working on Linux. I should just dual boot.

Already on Linux. And proud.
I run Fedora KDE now, but I’m going to keep my Windows 10 install on Windows 10.
I think I will switch to Linux, possibly dual boot with Win 11 just in case there are games I can't play on Linux.
I thought I read some time ago that Windoze 10 would be the last version of Windoze ever...
i remember it as "the last version of windows you'll ever need" and they were absolutely correct.
Well, it can be the last version of Windows for you. 🙂
Ubuntu is nice. I use it daily. Others in my family too. And there are other options too. I hear Mint is nice though I haven't used it much.
Give it some thought. 🙂
Yeah I remember thr same thing. Everything else was suppose to be a package update.
But back-end technology and usage expectations change, and there's a limit to what front-end changes an existing user tolerates. That was never a promise they could keep.
It has lasted a really long time, though. I don't decry 11 existing. I'm upset they're sunsetting 10 without giving us a chance to wait for 11 to get better, let alone for 'oops we fixed the fuckups' W12.
Just bought a laptop and put bazzite on it to try it out and figure out if I can do all the things I want to do on it. If that all works out I'll be switching my desktop over.
Just imagine 43 % market share in the next hardware survey.
Ill bet right before the deadline, they will magically make TPM optional, even though they said they wouldn't.
Gonna have to.
I don't mind it, just using w10 for simplicity's sake.

I'm using 10+ years old hardware, Microsoft has already told me I can't upgrade, followed by several messages asking me to upgrade...
In other news, Linux Mint works nice and I just need to check Protondb to get Warframe running at frames per second and not seconds per frame
if you're on Linux mint, check to see if mint itself is out of date. When I installed mint, the only install media I could find was 2 versions behind. Getting to the current version fixed my warframe problems.
I finally committed to Linux at the end of last year. Enough is working to make it preferable to Windows now. I'm still having a lot of bugs, and it's costing quite some time. But at least my computer is mine again. No more telemetry, ads, and UIs that treat me like a toddler. No more updates forced onto me instead of being done whenever I want it.
Me too. Most things just work for me BTW. Laptop battery went from 4 hours to 10+, with better performance too. But most important for me is privacy, which is way better/easier to manage in Linux.
Ironically my laptop, which has been Linux-only since 2015 or something, has finally stopped working properly. The dedicated GPU (NVIDIA Quadro K1100M) no longer has working drivers with the kernel from Ubuntu 24.04. Then again, it wouldn't run windows 11 either probably.
Can’t upgrade because my 4 years old mobo is apparently too old (haven’t checked out the workarounds yet). Installed Linux Mint to give it a try and I am positively surprised so far.
