Comment on Microsoft still can't convince folks to upgrade to Windows 11

I have win 11. I only use it as a steam game machine and sometimes vr games.

If I’m ever required to reformat I’ll probably try IoT Enterprise LTSC. Unsure how video game friendly the version is though.

IoT Enterprise works just fine. That said, I still don’t trust Microsoft - it still insists on forced updates and reboots, and likely AI, down the line.

I am figuring on switching to SteamOS Desktop, once that is released.

Just go SteamOS or Bazzite. Make shit easy on yourself.

  IIRC vr is still a bit of a mess on Linux.

    Steam vr sucks. I got Monado working alright with a bunch of fiddling around, though I don’t use fbt so no idea how well that part works. I’m using an index btw.
    
    Only unsolved issue I have is that I can’t get steam vr to update my base stations.

IOT Enterprise LTSC fully works for running Windows games. It just doesn’t have a lot of the bloatware. I’ve tried it and I’m dual booting with Arch.

If it is just meant as a steam machine, I recommend looking at Nobara for Nvidia GPU and Bazzite for AMD GPU. I will admit that I haven’t tested vr games yet.

Personally, I’m maining Arch and it plays most games in HDR at 4k 120Hz. My Windows is so I have access to Microsoft Office.

  Curious: do the webapps of Office not suffice?

    Not if you need custom error bars on a scatter plot in Excel.
