are you gonna use linux when windows 10 ends in october?

i sincerely doubt droves of people just switch to linux lmao. linux desktop is a meme and it will stay a meme. most games actively block linux btw you should be fine if you play singleplayer games though.

I already moved when they starting to put "adware" on my log screen to force me to Windows 11, and never looked back. I even choose Arch because I wanted a challenge, and it is honestly not that hard. People like to read about linux without trying and then overreact to it.





Tell me you havent tried linux and like to sound like you actually know about it, without telling me you havent tried linux and like to sound like you actually know about it.

Well, I am not telling you what OS I am using. All I will say is I am not using Windows 10.

Only way I'd use Windows past 7 is if it isn't connected to the internet but haven't decided what to use otherwise still.


Some people claim FreeBSD performs better with games than Linux. This kind of kind of makes sense since many consoles are built on FreeBSD as their base of their OS. However FreeBSD uses a Linux compatibility layer for anything meant for Linux so maybe this only is the case when it is console emulation involved. I haven't looked deep into it yet how accurate this is.



NixOS and GoboLinux might suit you better since their filesystem hierarchy goes against normal Linux standards. Well setting aside usual Linux distro issues.

It isn't too a big deal if you either use ethernet or if on WiFi you turn off IPv6. Also everyone should set their browser to ask download location so you never have files download without your permission.

@traed Freebsd is NOT linux it is based on bsd kernel it is very different.

I wonder if the SteamOS would take off if it one day released as a proper system and not just something that Valve's and now some third party handheld gaming devices run on. Gaben suggested over 10 years ago something along the lines that the complete market dominance of Microsoft Windows on desktop PC is a problem

Windows 11 is crap. It is obvious spyware. And it has hardly any useful features. Why would anyone want to use it? Unless you are forced to use it, don't use it. Even an Android smartphone is safer and less buggy than Windows 11. In fact, Android is far superior to Windows 11.

@NS2D
They don't have to. There is various distros for gaming like ChimeraOS, Nobara and SteamFork and for retro gaming emulation focus ones too like Lakka

The anti-cheat are a way more localized problem, CoD, BF 2044, Valorant, Apex, LoL... and mostly those big names. And many of those anti cheats are suspicious at best, I personally wouldnt let them install a kernel level anticheat on my PC. There is a whole ocean of online games that runs perfectly on Linux, and my hardware is like 5-6 years old components and I almost have no issues. I even compare to my brother PC that has the similar specs, play similar games and were build at the same time, and the results are the same.

Claiming that Linux desktop is a meme and that most games are unplayable/blocked is just a lie claimed by people that probably never touched the SO but for some reason wants to talk about something they dont know.



Yes, it is misinformation and lies, you painted like is it "single players or nothing" and thats not true:
- Battlefield 4
-Age Of Empires 4
- Arma 3
- CS2
- Eve Online
- Ready Or Not
- MechWarrior Online
- Any Half-Life game
- Star Citizen
- Squad
- Halo MCC
- Ace Combat 7
- Armored core 6
- Elden Ring
- Baldurs Gate 3
- Final fantasy XIV
- Guild Wars 2
- War Thunder
- Guilty Gear Strive
- Hell Let Loose
- Helldivers 2

All of those with online, and Im only mentioning the ones I have. So painting it like "Oh... it is impossible and no support of any online play in linux" is a lie.



sudo pacman -Syu

Thats literally everything you need to do to keep wine and most proton update. And it you have Steam is even easier: it gets already or just put "experimental" and call it a day.


I have to do that only once, and was with DCS that is a chore to play because of how complex it is (the gameplay). For everything else is just Proton or Proton GE and call it a day.

Linux is really not that hard, and again, I choose Arch because I hate myself, other distros like Mint are way easier.

let me tell you why would anyone install linux at this point they have an e-waste laptop with a single core cpu something like amd e-240 and it can't run windows 10 or 11 so cpu gets pegged at 100% so windows is not an option what would you do? you install antix linux on that thing and even then that thing is unusable ewaste but you can use it to rip cd/dvds that's the only thing going for that laptop. so yeah linux is great for lowend ewaste pcs other than that you should NOT use linux because nvidia drivers also suck on linux no gpu vendor will ever prioritize linux ever full stop. so if you are a serious gamer you install windows that's it. if you don't care about latest and greatest games or are okay with visual glitches etc then be my guest and install linux. most of those linux gaming videos you see on youtube are touch and go they might work today and not work a few months later because wine was updated there is a reason they maintain a regression list afterall.
