I can’t switch to Linux due to software requirements for work. On my personal computer I’m using Xubuntu for well over a decade, I didn’t like the unity window manager of Ubuntu. I heard they changed to something else by now, but I can’t be bothered to switch.

Plan on, if possible, cloning my account to a new account on a new internal drive (preferably a 2TB+ drive) to save all my stuff that I want and don’t feel like moving over due to laziness. Then on another partition, I plan on having the rest of the space being used for Linux. All I gotta do is make sure the win10 partition doesn’t receive an ounce of Internet connectivity at all and pray I don’t end up with a virus or something similar somehow (because even the safest internet practices aren’t safe enough anymore).

Hopefully I can turn that partition into a cold partition where I can keep the current games I have that aren’t downloaded through Steam installed to ensure I can still play them. Then I can slowly debloat it by uninstalling everything I don’t need on there and get rid of a ton of files/unnecessary programs so that way I can still have roughly 500-600GB for win10 just in case I ever need it for anything, like a program I genuinely cannot figure out how to get working on Linux.

linux primary with dual boot for a windows install just because of the games that won’t work.

When that time comes I’ll probably either remove networking from, or just wipe win10 entirely.

Been using mint as my daily for a while now and I hate booting into windows 😂

Swapped to Linux last week. Currently dual booting. Over the coming months, I’m going to slowly transfer all my stuff over as well

I have Windows only for League, no Steam installed. Ergo I don’t count

Linux. I’ve been putting if off because of hardware reasons that would be annoying to explain beyond the solution is upgrading the motherboard, which is bottlenecking me anyways.

I still use steam on Windows 7. I don’t see the problem.

Do you worry about connecting it to the internet?

Cocodapuf,

Nope

Shannaresh,

Just please make sure it’s not internet connected if you value such things as your privacy, and bank accounts not being breached extremely easily. End of security support is no joke.

Cocodapuf,

I don’t really use the browser on that machine. It still has basic virus protection, and such.

End of security support is no joke.

Well really… that all depends on if you’re laughing.

Shannaresh,

Using a browser isn’t the only way it would be connected to the internet though, I know for sure there are malware bots actively searching for network connected XP machines that can brick systems just for existing on a public network, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the same wasn’t the case for 7. Anti-virus can only do so much for you if you’re a victim of ransomware or some remote execution exploit found since EOL

Cocodapuf,

Well, I have the ultimate defense against ransomware, full disk backups. Honestly, with automated backups, the whole world is a little less scary.

Build new computer. Old computer to be a home server running Linux or something fancy.

I will dualboot to keep a windows 10 for software that only runs on it, but I really hope I will be able to be gaming on linux only.

I’ve been on Windows 11 since it was released. The only problem I had were NVIDIA drivers sometimes causing a bluescreen (mainly my fault).

Linux doesn’t work for me currently, since I use RDP to connect to systems for work, and RDP clients on Linux are ass.

AceSLS,

RDP clients on Linux are ass.

Remmina is better than windows native remote desktop shit imo

Used it, it was probably the best, but still bad. If not for work, it would have been good enough though.

Most of the RDP implementations are also just based on FreeRDP, so they’re basically the same. I had terrible picture quality on all of them, even over local network, and the USB passthrough barely worked.

Tbh since I need the system for work, I wasn’t able to test stuff super long. Maybe I should install Linux on a secondary system, so I can just play around and try stuff.

secret300, do games w I really need these games ported to Steam. What do y'all have on your lists?

Gravity Rush is such a banger I just downloaded the second one on my PS4. I beat the first one on my Vita a while back but I don’t really remember how it ends so I might replay that before I start the second one.

MellowYellow13,

Same with me, never played the second one

I dual boot but I’m on Windows 11 for my windows partition because the fucking thing just upgraded itself one day.

Come to Linux, it’s all I’ve used since Windows 7 and it works great.

I’ll be switching fully to Linux this summer, but will also “upgrade” windows 10 to 11 on the last week of support. I’ll only use it then if I have to, on a separate drive.
