Does it really matter? I have xemu (xbox emulator), retroarch for anything else, and PSX2 to be sure on Lubuntu, combine together how many games all those have and you just don't need steam

Ill bet right before the deadline, they will magically make TPM optional, even though they said they wouldn't.

If ya want to not be plugged into the internet, or use new external media, ya can probably run it safely forever.

Never again, bye Microsoft Windows 😁 Hi GNU/Linux my new friend.

My Windows 10 PC's only function at this point is to play FFXIV in my living room, so I'm not super worried about viruses or anything.

But maybe eventually I'll switch to Linux on that box and do that weird set-up to get FFXIV running there.

Honestly, I still don't know. My 3070 worked well on linux the last time I used it so hardware won't be an issue. I also don't play many modern games so that's not a problem either. It's just my partner is schizo with what games they wanna play. Rn they're obsessed with minecraft and bedrock doesn't work on linux. I know for sure I'm not going to 11 though. I've used it before and absolutely hated the UI layout.

First off, bedrock is cancer it's just off-brand Minecraft.

But second, there is an unofficial launcher that works on Linux

I would like to switch to Linux on my gaming machine but me and my girlfriend play Valorant together so I can't switch just yet.

My server and laptop already run NixOS, I'm just looking forward to the day my gaming/main machine join them too

If you use Windows as mere game launcher, you better have a application firewall set to whitelist Steam only anyway.

Use my PC for gaming and RTX so Windows only I'm afraid.

Didn't they get rid of some 11 requirements? Won't most regular people just do the upgrade to 11?

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 4 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

They didn't get rid of it, they're allowing you to upgrade to 11 and calling it unsupported. Just like 10 is unsupported.

I got a new PC recently so unfortunately I am now on Windows 11. I’ve been wanting to make the swap to Linux but I can’t really make a clean break because at least some of the games I play a lot won’t work on Linux. I do think I’m gonna try to set up another hard drive with Linux on it to try to slowly start learning it and ideally move over anything that I can over there eventually and just keep the windows drive for those few games.

Does anyone have any recommendations related to that? Distro for gaming/ease of use? What’s the best option for setting up the dual boot? Anything I wouldn’t have thought of that’s relevant?
