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

[jewbacca117@lemmy.world]

Starting to plan my next build and will likely go full Linux

It's maybe some kind of circular logic, but my brain doesn't recognize a picture of Satya Nadella = "Microsoft's CEO" for some reason.

I've been trying to get a good domain authed nix set up for a while. Alternately, if I could set up a gaming server using sunshine/moonlight.

Unfortunately, I use some software that's Windows-only, and can't be bothered to set up a VM or anything

[simple@lemm.ee]

Most people won't budge. It doesn't matter if Win10 is unsupported or isn't getting a security update, I reckon a solid 40 of 43% will just stay on it until programs they use stop working.

My gaming 'puter is running win 10, and the plan is to replace it with one running Manjaro. Will have to see when that happens, not upgrading to win 11.

Moonlight is still alive? I used to use it constantly and was really disappointed when support for it discontinued.

[gonzo-rand19@moist.catsweat.com]

For gaming, people often recommend Pop!_OS, Bazzite, or Zorin, but you can use whatever you want if you are a tinkerer. I use Debian and have a great time gaming.

Outside of gaming and if Windows software compatibility isn't really something you're worried about, you can use any distro you want.

You can try some of them out using a web browser with DistroSea if you feel like it, though they don't have every distro because that would be nuts.

[victorz@lemmy.world]

Maybe your brain would, if it had a chance to connect the two if they posted more pictures of Satya and Microsoft in the same context...

[coelacanth@feddit.nu]

I used to use UbuntuStudio back when I was playing around with music recording and production ages ago because it ran the real-time kernel which was important for JACK I think. Last time though was just Mint.

[victorz@lemmy.world]

can't be bothered

That sure is unfortunate

[corroded@lemmy.world]

Windows 10 IoT LTSC has support until 2032. Just saying...

[towelie@lemm.ee]

Already did and it's glorious! Steam works beautifully and the only final thing that I'm missing is Adobe products.

[towelie@lemm.ee]

I couldn't name another Microsoft employee if a gun was to my head. but I can still vividly remember myself in 4th grade reading about Bill Gate's mega mansion in Popular Mechanics for Kids

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.

[vaguerant@fedia.io]

I've heard about this, but can anybody who's gone through it describe how much effort it was? Do you have to do a from-scratch Windows install? Did you lose any of your stuff? What level of computer expertise would you say is enough to handle installing LTSC, e.g. could your parents do it?

[victorz@lemmy.world]

I upgraded as soon as I had the chance, to Windows 11. But I never boot into it because my games run absolutely fine on Arch using Steam and the Proton compatibility layer. No reason to boot Windows whatsoever. I can't remember the last time I did. Every time I boot into it, the last system update finishes and a new one is available.

[victorz@lemmy.world]

I play only on Linux, and it works great. Come on over!

[flemmy@lemm.ee]

It's easier to install it than reconfiguring default Windows.

[osaerisxero@kbin.melroy.org]

Yeah, its maybe some kind of circular logic that their brain doesn't make that link
