    My Windows 10 PC’s only function at this point is to play FFXIV in my living room, so I’m not super worried about viruses or anything.

    But maybe eventually I’ll switch to Linux on that box and do that weird set-up to get FFXIV running there.

    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.

    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…

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    Ill bet right before the deadline, they will magically make TPM optional, even though they said they wouldn’t.
