It enticed me to start gaming on Linux. So its definitely doing some enticing
What was your experience switching over to Linux and getting it set up for gaming?
Not the original poster, but my experience was fairly smooth. I had minor issues with wifi drivers, and I got a new GPU that had some driver issues because it was pretty recently released (I guess the open source drivers didn’t have time to be updated?). In terms of actual gaming, basically no issues. I mainly use steam and proton has been bliss, I’ve bought multiple games without even checking compatibility, and it just works. To my knowledge there is only one old game where the multiplayer doesn’t work, but everything else has been seamless. Mint cinnamon is what I’m currently running.
I can’t wait for massive security problems on corporations once they shut down W10 support and those corporation considering if keeping with windows is woth the risk and the cost anymore.
You mean like they did when Windows 7 went EoL?
Or when Windows XP went EoL?
Or when NT 4.0 went EoL?
This isn’t the first time Windows has gone EoL in a corporate environment; what makes you think it’ll be better or worse than previously? Some will begin the Win11 transition, some will pay for extended support until Windows 12, a few might switch to Linux, and the rest will run unsecured until circumstances force them to fix it.
This time around there are hardware requirements. Corporations equipment is not usually the latest hardware, and windows 11 is pushing customers to buy new hardware.
I suppose for many corporations upgrading to windows 11 would also mean upgrading the computer, which is an increase cost.
