Comment on Windows 12 May Require a Subscription
IronKrill@lemmy.ca 11 months agoI will regret it actually, as I would constantly be struggling to play games my friends want to play (they are a picky bunch) and I would have to take probably a whole month installing and learning new applications, rewriting scripts, and so much more to integrate into Linux. Not to mention I would probably want to reformat and move 20TB of data to switch from NTFS. It’s not something I want to do right now, but it is definitely something I am willing to do given enough provocation.
As for phones, I need one for work. Getting rid of it is a no-go.

For the beginning you can also dual boot. For games it depends. A lot of stuff works right out of the box but a lot of stuff requires additional steps or doesn’t work. You can also check if a game is playable on Linux on protondb.com

I wouldn’t mind dual booting, that’s for sure. I looked into it previously but was put off because I saw discouraging information about Windows 11 with all the secure boot nonsense, but looking further it seems it may be a minor hiccup.

These can be bypassed with some registry editing in the installer. Press Shift+F10 to open cmd, type regedit, and in regedit, go in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Setup and in setup right click and create a key named “LabConfig” in it, you can add DWORD 32-bit values to bypass stuff. And double click them and set the value to 1. Here are the possibilities:
BypassSecureBootCheck
BypassCPUCheck
BypassTPMCheck
BypassRAMCheck
