    I remember it so clearly man... The morning of October 15 2025, a Wednesday as I recall. People were warned but they didn't listen. They don't ever listen.

    I'll never forget the screaming. Millions of Windows 10 computers just spontaneously exploding all over the place. Women, children and men with beards running down the streets of every city just trying to avoid the thousands of computers being thrown from the tops of buildings. The world was never the same after that. I found an abandoned bus in the chaos so I tried to save as many people as I could. We rode into the night towards the hills. Away from the cities and the looting and chaos.

    Or you know... it just means no updates and we'll all probably be fine.

    [–] Zorsith@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 56 minutes ago

    Wont somebody think of the poor children and men with beards!?

    Or you know... it just means no updates and we'll all probably be fine.

    Dude, I would be hesitant to use an OS more than a month after EOL. I hope you realize that your OS no longer receiving security updates is a really, really, really bad thing. People staying on Win10 instead of upgrading to Linux or macOS or downgrading to Win11 is going to be zero day heaven.

    [–] Andrew15_5@mander.xyz 2 points 50 minutes ago

    "downgrading" caught me off guard.

    [–] Novamdomum@fedia.io 8 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

    I remember even TheTechnician27 tried to warn us "it's going to be zero day heaven!" they said but everyone just shrugged and now here I am with my fellow refugees in the woods trying to catch some squirrels for my dinner.

    [–] TimeSquirrel@kbin.melroy.org 6 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

    trying to catch some squirrels for my dinner.

    Excuse me? 🀨

    [–] lattrommi@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 hour ago

    I'm sure they mean an elegant dinner party to honor them and not eating your extended family as a light snack before bedtime.

    Debian ahoy!

    [–] TommySoda@lemmy.world 6 points 3 hours ago

    Already dual booting. Haven't used Linux since 2010 so it's been a bit of a learning curve. But now I haven't booted into windows for about 2 months now and it's been great for gaming.

    [–] Amputret@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 4 hours ago (4 children)

    Oh the times a-coming, but as I only really use my PC for gaming now, I’m holding out for a SteamOS distro.

    [–] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 7 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (1 children)

    you don't have to wait, games run fine in most distros and the ones that don't are probably because of anti cheat which won't be solved with steamOS.

    [–] Uli@sopuli.xyz 1 points 31 minutes ago

    Yeah, I keep my Windows PC purely for League of Legends due to their anti cheat (read rootkit) and it's a pre-2017 chip, so it's not Win 11 eligible (which I've always counted my blessings for). And also the Spotify web page doesn't work well for me on Linux. Other than that, I do pretty much everything on my newer Linux machine.

    I've heard good things about Bazzite if that's an option for you.

    [–] Know_not_Scotty_does@lemmy.world 6 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

    Bazzite has been awesome as a recent windows expat. 100% recommended and the only game I have not gotten working via the built in steam compatibility tools has been pubg.

    [–] reseller_pledge609@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

    When I stop needing Windows, that's gonna be one of the first distros I try. Haven't tried the atomic distros properly yet.

    [–] Know_not_Scotty_does@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

    I spun up a win10 vm in bazzite to run my CAD and Windows specific stuff and have basically not used it in months now. The libre office suite has gotten much better over the years and most of my normal usage just didn't end up being OS specific. Its been a great and easy transition for me.

    Nice. I'm hoping to get there eventually, but work stuff is keeping me on Windows.

    Valve is working on it.

    [–] SaltSong@startrek.website 5 points 3 hours ago (4 children)

    Same here. The minute I can be confident than my steam collection will run on Linux, I'm switching over.

    [–] drkt_@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

    Have you tried? Because Proton is the miracle people make it up to be.

    [–] SaltSong@startrek.website 2 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

    I'm not in a position to experiment, but I'm following the lead of a friend who is in such a position, and is far more technical than I am.

    I'll ask him about proton. Appreciate the recommend.

    [–] verdigris@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 hour ago

    Yeah SteamOS is nothing special. Any of the big distros can give you a similarly solid gaming experience these days.

    [–] jws_shadotak@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 hours ago

    I haven't had any issues with any of my games.

    For anything not on steam, there's bottles or lutris, both of which work amazingly well.

    [–] smeg@feddit.uk 2 points 2 hours ago

    There was a comment thread in one of the Linux communities a while back talking about this mindset. Obviously the comments got a bit rude and unconstructive, but the point is that you can switch to something like bazzite now and most things will work pretty well, but if you're holding out until it's perfect then you'll be waiting forever!

    The only game I have not been able to get running via steam/proton has been pubg.

    [–] gon@lemm.ee 6 points 3 hours ago

    I hate how relatable this is.

    [–] ShellMonkey@lemmy.socdojo.com 4 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

    Big thing holding me up is domain auth. Someone had decent luck getting something like Bazzite joined to a DC without major manual work?

    [–] cm0002@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago

    Not bazzite specifically, but I have joined Linux systems to LDAP with the SSSD module which is...alright to enable and config in AD

    I have joined MacOS to AD as well and THAT was like pulling teeth LMAO

    [–] BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

    I've tried before, that sounds horrible, why are you doing that to yourself.

    I've worked at not small companies who still thought that was too much work to mess with.

    Largely because half the services I host are tied to a Univention DC, and so are the current Windows client machines, I'd like to maintain that state.

    I know Ubuntu has an AD option when you set it up, but it doesn't seem to work with any of the 'AD compatible' replacements I've tried.

    I'm buying a Windows 11 license.

    [–] palordrolap@fedia.io 2 points 53 minutes ago

    And a new PC, or are you lucky enough to have sufficiently recent hardware that will support it, unlike thousands of others with otherwise perfectly good hardware?

    [–] Sneptaur@pawb.social 2 points 2 hours ago

    I hope you enjoy your experience with it!
