Why? Nothing requires Windows 11. It doesn’t even have a new directx which is why most had to upgrade from 7. Browsers and malware software will work for years. Hell malwarbytes still updates for Window 7.

You really don’t understand security updates.

I do and if the computer is for work yes update to 11. But for gaming only why would anyone care if it doesn’t break your games? I do nothing but game on a PC and have no need to update until it is required for gaming. Also it is not like on that date all security updates to that point vanish. Firefox and Chrome will still update for security. Malwarebytes will still also update for security.

I have procrastinated the switch this far, I’ll be damned if my laziness gives in now! Lol

I’ve gotten to a point where the quality of a PS2 game is higher to me than most AAA releases. I mostly play retro games, more open multiplayer games that don’t block users like TF2(and TF2) and indies… so, no. I don’t really need Windows for anything.

The only real reason I’m still on Win 10 is because of Escape from Tarkov and Photoshop. I need to get a new m.2 and just start sorting through my crap I guess but I haven’t gotten the motivation yet lol

I don’t like the rootkit. I do everything I possibly can on Linux aside from the one game that requires it. That said, since they started using the rootkit, there has been a steep drop-off in bots in the game. As in I don’t see any anymore. So, annoying and a huge security risk? Absolutely. Dubious? Maybe? Depends on what you mean.

I use Opensuse MicroOS on half a dozen PCs but I keep one on Windows until I can run Fortnite on Linux.

I have an older pc that I use as a a Plex server so as soon as I get some time I will fully switch to Ubuntu.

Jumping to Linux just picking a distro

Make the jump to Linux and loose 90% of the games you play as well. If all you play is steam games and don’t care about many that can’t be played then sure. I get the appeal. But windows 11 is the same thing as 10.

y0kai,

90%?

Do you only play games with kernel level anti-cheat? Because those are literally the only games i haven’t been able to play, and fortunately for me I don’t want to play those games.

SolidShake,

I play many kinds of games. Using a Windows emulator in Linux doesn’t count as “running on Linux”

y0kai,

Lol what

DesolateMood,

Ha, get a load of this guy, he thinks wine is an emulator!

Link,

You should look up what Wine stands for.

DrSteveBrule,

If the game plays on your linux distro who cares what you call it?

Wine sometimes gains performace over windows though, so why do you care?

It's 2025, not 2007. This is a huge exaggeration. Maybe try it again sometime.

SolidShake,

I might when the DAWs I use will work natively.

Random123,

Yeah you definitely didn’t play on Linux for more than 5 minutes

SolidShake,

I use DAWs, havent had luck with wine not crashing games. So yes. You MUST be right, haven’t used Linux at all actually. Just saw a word document about it. God you people are the worst

kittenzrulz123,

Pretty much, 1% of games don’t work on Linux and its the top 1% most popular games

SolidShake,

My problem is 100% of the DAWs I use don’t work on Linux

kittenzrulz123,

Yeah, sometimes there are software that just won’t have a Linux version. Thats to be expected because Linux isnt a Windows clone so itll never run all Windows software. If that software is important to you I would reccomend just installing Windows 11.

Kaldo, do games w 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux?

I tried it a few months ago but had issues with various games and lowered performance in almost all of them. I still don't know if I will just cave in and upgrade to win11 or try linux again, i've got a free partition waiting but the issue is lack of time and motivation to dive into troubleshooting the OS on a daily basis

Installed kubuntu on the laptop so I can get used to it. Still trying to find a AV and firewall app I like

@wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world avatar

ClamAV, if you want more than just common sense. Firewall is built-in to kubu.

Rozz, do games w What open-world games on Steam have satisfying movement, like Arkham Knight or Spider-Man?

Tchia - it is a relaxing game, but I enjoyed it when I needed a break from intense games or intense life.

You can sail a boat, swim, glide, slide down hills, flip through the air AND transform into object and animals. When you are an object you can hop and throw yourself. When you are an animal you can do whatever they do, fly swim, run, see in the dark, poop on people, break coconuts, and more.
