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

The more people hop onto Linux the faster and better funded support for Linux development becomes. If you're a single player gamer or play Valve multiplayer games primarily, make the jump to Linux. Get on Mint, get on Fedora, Ubuntu, etc and get off Microsoft's shitboat. You already took off from Reddit. Wean off all these other money/data leeches

It's weird how MS's putting developers first became a joke. Back in the 80's, companies like HP and IBM had open warehouses with coders at desks lined up like factory workers. MS was the first big company to give a private office to every programmer.
The approach isn’t what became a joke, it was the absolutely unhinged way in which it was presented.

Installed bazzite today. Was easier than installing windows.

Maybe, he is indeed looking hella rough in this photo.
Seems he's using the same orange tan as the other orange guy haha

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.

Will upgrade my dual-boot, until all my games and stuff works on Linux I can't ditch Windows... Also until I find a replacement for MusicBee's file explorer view.

Running an EoL operating system is surely what you want to do with your personal dat-
Aaaaaaand it's been compromised
Isn't that exactly what's happening as soon as you install win11?

Krita and GIMP are tools for different use cases.
On a more professional/advanced level I agree.
But for average users, they accomplish 90% identical tasks, but Krita, while less mature, is more intuitively designed (superiorly designed I would argue), and uses better algorithms for things like select & fill.
Also Krita is less ugly. Sorry, I'm notoriously shallow.

Because he set the general, evil directions for MS. Like keeping users uninformed and locked in, smearing the competition, sabotaging open standards, taking your control over your hardware and data away from users, etc. All happened during evil Bill's reign.
Not to mention the many deals with hardware manufacturers in order to avoid competing OSs to have any chance. They managed to kill BeOS and dominate the Japanese market in the 90s

Disagree - I've done it, it is easy and straightforward, but anyone who hasn't installed an OS on bare metal and used a certain tool that you can get from Github to activate MS products, isn't going to explain the process as "super easy". More like "a mother-fucking pain in the ass" and "why did you suggest this this" and "what the fuck is an iso".
This is definitely "I'll swing by this month and install it" territory, not "here's a guide, ez pz" for anyone older than 40 who didn't major in CS.
Most of those points are why I mentioned that setting up the iso on a removable drive is probably the hardest part. If you can boot to it then the rest of the installation process at that point is pressing 'next' through the W10 initialization.
But I'll also concede that an average mom and pop likely can't handle opening powershell to run massgravel and activate windows

Right?
I never understand why people are so obsessed with not getting updates. They usually just break everything and bloat the OS.
"But my security!" OS updates are going to protect you from 99% of the bad actors out there. They do nothing against social engineering. They don't make you use strong passwords. Most of the security flaws OS updates are addressing are the kinda of attacks that only state actors or organized crime rings have the resources and abilities to exploit.
Governments? Heck yeah they need to be concerned. Large enterprises? Definitely. Small businesses? Eh it's probably for the best to protect your livelihood even if you aren't the juiciest target. But for an individual using their PC for gaming, social media, streaming content, online shopping, etc... The cost-benefit analysis is different.
It's not different from physical security. Theres a reason you don't need to go through TSA to get on a bus.
While I agree, I have seen TSA working at the bus station.

I'm on Mint and have been for 2-3 years now and I've never had any problems with non-valve multiplayer. I don't use any VMs and just run everything through proton and have never struggled.
Battlebit, Helldivers, Lethal Company (+mods), Risk of Rain 2, Rocket League, Minecraft, and Split Fiction to name a few. I guarantee there are others I've played, but I can't remember.

Plenty of sim racing on Linux. Just not iracing or (I think) rfactor.
But Automobilista 2, AC, ACC, ACEvo, Raceroom, Dirt Rally 2.0, Beam. Ng drive, and others all run fine on my gaurda machine
I basically only use iRacing at the moment for serious stuff, beam ng for fun. Might try that from arch and see how it goes!

I'm using Garuda and it has a setup specifically for gaming. The gamer look it comes with out of the box is ugly in my opinion, but that's easy to change.I highly recommend it. It's Arch based, so the AUR and Arch wiki work great with it. It's really great and (in my opinion) user friendly.
Awesome, thank you for the recommendation! I've been wanting to try out Arch on my laptop but I don't have as much time on my hands as I used to. Have been reading that POP OS is good for gaming but I will definitely do some reading on Garuda.

Can anyone recommend a distro (and desktop environment?) that's going to be almost the same as desktop mode on the Steam deck? I'm getting more comfortable in that than I expected to be in any Linux, and to my surprise and delight I haven't had to delve into the command line at all yet.

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 -
loose 90% of the games you play as well
It's 2025, not 2007. This is a huge exaggeration. Maybe try it again sometime.
I might when the DAWs I use will work natively.
-
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.
I play many kinds of games. Using a Windows emulator in Linux doesn't count as "running on Linux"

No, I use windows 11 and it works great.
