As long as 10 is supported, I'm not updating. At least I'm not hammered with ads like on 11.
If 10 is sunset, I'll probably switch back to Linux. I rarely game on my laptop anyway.
My gaming rig is linux and it’s only sorta inconvenient
How dumb can a person be and still use Linux for gaming? I'm open to switching from Windows but am only marginally technical so I don't wanna bite off more than I can chew
It's not nearly as hard as it seems, but you do have to be willing to search around Google for a bit and things might take a few tries to get working. Steam has an option in their compatibility settings to run windows games through Proton that has worked well for me, but I only really play smaller single player games. Can't vouch for how well it works for multi-player stuff. Also I'm using Manjaro (based on Arch Linux) not sure if it works the same for all distributions.
I have nearly 1000 games on steam the only ones that don't work on proton with zero fiddling at this point are either EAC/BattleEYE games that don't support proton. Or old games from the early 00s with drm that also don't really work on windows anymore either.
I am also on Manjaro.
