Congrats on joining Linux squad!
Linux gaming got waaaaay better than in before times.
Comment on Steam has now officially stopped supporting Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1.
JTskulk@lemmy.world 10 months agoDidn’t stop me from gaming on 7 either. I was only gaming on my windows partition so I didn’t worry too much about vulns. Nothing in 8-11 interests me so I thought I’d try all my gaming in Linux and have been blown away by how good it is.

Oh I’m very aware, I’ve been running Linux in one way or another for 20 years :)

Ah, great! Should be like at home then :)

I’ve never felt more at home! No separate machines, no dualbooting, my games run great :D

The cracks were probably because you were part of a botnet for using an insecure OS for years lol
JTskulk@lemmy.world 10 months ago
It was mainly due to qt dropping support (used by OBS, I could have stayed on an old version) and Steam for the same reason but Chromium. I probably could have kept my old computer and stayed on 7 for longer if I wanted to.

Nice job ignoring the very real possibility that your computer has been part of a botnet for years. The botnet thanks you for your service.

I did ignore it, literally didn’t read it. You have to run code or data from untrusted sources (or be available on a network) to get exploited, and I know that computer wasn’t doing anything high bandwidth otherwise it would affect my gaming. I literally only played games on the install for a couple hours a night and my browser and other software was up to date.
