Other than “at gunpoint,” why are you still using Windows?

I’m hesitant to leave 10 because there are a few games I play that don’t support Linux, and I like em too much to quit if 10 still works. However, once support officially ends forreal, I will say goodbye to those games o7 11 will never touch my outers.
At work tho they had to upgrade to 11 in the office, and since it’s retail the office isn’t really that important but 11 is so poorly designed the computers barely run anymore

Which games, out of curiosity?

I’m also curious what games you’re talking about. Most work even without official support. The games that don’t are multiplayer where the AC specifically blocks Linux, which are basically just EA games and Chinese games.
One interesting thing I’ve found is that legacy windows support is better on Linux through WINE/Proton than on Windows. Old games are more likely to be runnable on Linux than Windows.

Specifically Destiny 2, as it’s been my vice since 2019. But given that Sony absolutely gutted the staff working on it, I’m really just trying to tie up loose ends with achivements n the like before moving on.

Yeah, ones like D2 where the developer is actively hostile towards Linux to the point of banning people who manage to get it to run is going to be “use Windows or play something else”, unfortunately
