Joking aside, antifa-whale was a really interesting character in an otherwise predictable film.

HTTP works pretty well, if you don’t mind various governments spying on the traffic.

But probably Windows will disable the possibillity to manipulate on kernel level either in the future.

Sort of, right?

We know Windows will continue cracking down on kernel module adds, since the Crowd strike disaster.

But I figure most anti-cheat will just shift to non-kernel and keep working.

Of course, at that point most anti-cheat of will then work under Proton, on Linux, too.

Which was maybe your point.

Okay, I don’t think I added anything for you, but I’ll leave this in case it helps someone reading along with us.

Nice!

SteamOS getting an official PC release (if/when) is going to cause the first time I’ve spent a lot on PC hardware in a long while.

I’ll build it from parts of I must, but I really hope they go for a tie-in deal with Alienware or System76 and just let me buy a big pre-installed tower to play on.

I too choose your path of not being tempted away from Linux by the lure of an ad-riddled Microsoft-account-locked expensive “upgrade” to Windows 11.

I’ll second recommending Raspberry Pi as a secondary machine. That way your primary computer is still around as a fallback.

If you have a spare monitor to add, a Raspberry Pi 400 for $100.00 is a great way to try out Linux on dedicated hardware.

The Canakit version even comes with a printed welcome guide.

But I dont use Windows 10 that often - I don’t see the need. I just have it as a backup OS. I have free enough diskspace on my SSD so currently not doing anything.

I did exactly that for many years. And then one day I had something that called for booting to a separate OS, so…

I’m not settled on which distro

I distro hop a lot, myself, but I always hear nice things about Linux Mint. (And last time I used Mint, I had no complaints.)

Edit: Folks here also swear by Bazzite for gaming.

People spend more on Apple/Nintendo because of quality.

Perhaps we had very different experiences with the JoyCon…

Joking aside, I agree. I used to buy Nintendo for that reason. Then came JoyCon drift and out of control Nintendo lawyers.

Would it be possible or safe to keep gaming on win 10 until it’s totally not supported, but not using it for any shopping etc where sensitive info is being transferred ?

That’s how many of us upgraded to Linux.

But why?

Probably because having two separate dependency management solutions can lead to a lot of needless headaches.

And it makes particular sense for Gnome to switch over, since Gnome is focused on user space apps. Flatpaks should generally be more relevant and lower risk, long term, since they don’t require root privileges to install.
