This will be the first day in years I will try to make gaming work on Linux once again.
My desktop PC kicked the bucket after 10 years a few months back and I ended up using my Steam Deck as my primary computer for about a month. In that time I learned that Linux isn't so bad.
If forced to either pay a subscription for Windows or switch to Linux the choice seems simple for me at this point.
I hardly think MS is going this route. It maybe for AI stuff they are pushing in the OS and not the OS itself
the only reason why I still using windows is gaming. give me a platform where I can use steam and gog and I will not be touching windows ever again if not in a professional capacity.
Fuck subscription models
Lutris + Proton.
Baldur's Gate 3? Yep.
Cyberpunk with raytracing, DLSS, and mods? Yep (a bit of tinkering required)
I boot Windows only for Battlefield 2042 now, thanks to DICE's implementation of EAC
And then Linux will finally get the attention it has always deserved.
This is great for linux, but I think many laptops come with a protected BIOS that won't allow you to boot other OS's what do you guys do in this case? Also, correct me if I'm wrong!
I don't really know how your gonna sell people on this exactly. Like people will just stop buying laptops. The average person just buys a laptop at walmart in the desired size, from any brand. They don't even really think about windows. I just don't really see this working for anyone. What will end up happening is Chromebooks will overtake the laptop market if microsoft goes all in on this.
I'll just use the pirated versions with the malware ripped off of it, thank you. Tiny11 is a beauty to run already.
Lmao!
I would happily subscribe to an operating system for a fair price, as long as it's stable, compatible, has timely security updates and - and I highly doubt MS will do this one - without any bloat-, nag- or crapware. Make your default browser a browser, not a spying shopping coupon Bing AI mess. Let me choose the search engine the start menu uses (or use none at all), stop telling me to sign into OneDrive every chance you get, fuck off with your widgets, etc.
If I pay, you have no business trying to fuck me over, Microsoft.
Windows is nothing but a nightmare. It's privacy invasive, uses too much resources, breaks 24 7, has a boring UI, limited customization, more susceptible to viruses than any other OS, etc...
People should just switch over to Linux IMO.
Ahoy Mateys 🏴☠️
yep i guessed it end of windows 11 will begin growing of linux
At this rate I'm gonna be on 10 for forever
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
