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

Poopfeast420,
@Poopfeast420@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

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.

  • Halo games after 4 (Just add them to the MCC, 343! Even as add-ons, FFS!)
  • Anything and everything by Vanillaware, but especially Muramasa: The Demon Blade
  • Rock Band 4 (I know Harmonix did a crowdfunding campaign for a PC port; I bought into it and I’m butthurt it failed)
  • Time Crisis (any and all of them, but 1-3 first)

what other games besides halo 5? Also why halo 5

@matrixrunner@lemmy.world avatar

Also why Halo 5

Complete the collection.

Fireteam Raven could be fun, too, but that’s a pipe dream

vikingtons,
@vikingtons@lemmy.world avatar

I see. Given the general reception of the 343 games, it’s a little surprising to see people ask for 5 in its entirety, though I will admit there were moments of fun to be had with H5f.

I’m not sure what fire team raven is, will need to look that one up.

It’s the only game where a car can hide behind a tree.

wintermute, do games w Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how?

I’m starting a run of Project Zomboid without zombies

piyuv,

Ooooh but this makes some sense though, it just becomes a post apocalyptic world then

wintermute,

Exactly… I’m enjoying it very much so far.

Agent641,

Ah, the upstate Michigan run.

Abandoned towns with no enemies except your own crushing poverty.
