Maybe a dumb question, the biggest reason I can’t fully move is i do enjoy VR and sim racing, both of which I’ve seen have limited linux support still, and though I enjoy figuring things out and fixing stuff, I don’t want to always be tinkering instead of just racing/gaming.
Would it be possible or safe to keep gaming on win 10 until it’s totally not supported, but not using it for any shopping etc where sensitive info is being transferred ?
I did just order a 2 tb drive to put linux mint on, to give gaming on linux another try. I haven’t had a linux install for a few years now and kind of miss it. But i do wonder if I’ll need to reinstall all my games again or can just access them off the existing hard drives (I know, NTFS formatted wont be optimum for linux).
If I’m in the wrong spot to ask, please inform.
I’m just not going to do it now that they are moving to always-online membership required bullshit.
Fuck’em. SteamOS will be along shortly, I can hold out until that works well enough.
Just a word of warning, SteamOS is designed for the Deck (and Deck-like experiences). It’s immutable, which creates some limitations. It’ll also be set up for the controls on the device, not mouse and keyboard. These probably aren’t total deal breakers, but it’s worth considering. It’s designed to be a fairly locked down console-like experience. If you want a desktop experience, you’re better of elsewhere. I recommend Garuda, which has a great preset for gaming and tools to get everything running easily right after the install.
Yeah I hate that shit. I have never logged in with an ms account and I don’t plan to
