Comment on Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers

I’d never used Linux before getting a Steam Deck. It’s now my preferred PC. But it’s also super-duper polished and painless.

I have always liked Windows, but I’m always two versions behind and have never actually experienced any other OS. I’m open to Linux, but it also scares the shit out of me because I’ll essentially go back to knowing fuck all about the OS on my PC.

  Most games are ok, big online games are usually not (anything that has kernel level anti cheat, straight up bans Linux, or uses a third party launcher that doesn’t have much support on Linux). Usually can be overcome, but can result in a ban. For those games, you can either dual boot or virtualize Windows (which also can get u banned).
  
  Tons of games have Proton support (check ProtonDB). If you select a stable distro and don’t install custom stuff, you should be good without knowing much besides hitting Update all button from time to time and pasting any error message you get into your preferred search engine. Hell you can install SteamOS and be eternally happy.

  I hope you aren’t running EOL software. You aren’t running EOL software right?

    I’m on Windows 10 currently, so not quite two versions behind, but I held onto XP and 7 for ages.

    Just keep in mind you have until Oct of next year to migrate. Either go for Windows 11, Linux or Mac OS.
    
    You can’t safely stay. Don’t sacrifice your own security because of some personal vendetta against Microsoft. Windows 11 is very similar to Windows 10.

    No idea what that is, but probably not. Pretty much just stuff from the Discover thing. The biggest thing is Blender, also from the Discover.

    Discover is the KDE app center. However, that’s not relevant to Windows.
