Pretty much the only thing I use my PC for is gaming so it really sucks that I can't just dump them for Linux...

I don't want some games. I don't want to have something I've been hyped about be out of reach for God knows how long just because Linux support is crap as the market share is so low, but man do i hate Microsoft...

Because of proton it’s not perfect but it’s damn close these days. And that means that linux support is rapidly increasing with linux marketshare. And when all else fails, I keep a windows partition just in case

At the Office it's my employers problem and at home Mint doesn't give AF about Windows 11.

If epic didn't suck ass and actually wanted to support EAC on Linux I already would have switched.

Someone should let Microsoft know that they only have 18 months left to put out an OS that isn't a complete dumpster fire. Right now, I would take Vista over 11.

Windows 10 keeps turning that stupid news feed back on on my taskbar, too.

Well sadly my laptop is not supported for update 🤷

I'll wait for it to day and get a proper Linux supported device:)

Till then, I'll fly my w10

I would gladly upgrade to W11 if MS just let me on my old hardware (which is still fast enough for my daily tasks)
