Comment on Are you prepared for the ramifications of windows 10 EoL?

If MS decides that my hardware is obsolete, I’ll just go full Linux 🤷♂️

Do you game at all? Gaming on Linux has made great strides, be be fair, but for a lot of titles you still need to consider a dual boot of some form of Windows, thanks to over the top anti-cheat, DRM, and developer support.
Something to consider for the gamers out there.

The only titles that don’t work in Linux are the ones with invasive anti-cheat.
Virtually all single players game work. I’ve had games that don’t work on Windows due to crashes / performance but run on Linux.

Game pass games also do not work afaik.

Apex started acting up on pop a year and half ago which drove me back to my windows partition (that I hadn’t seen in almost 18 months).
I don’t know if my issue is: pop, proton, steam, apex, my hardware(bad ram?), flatpaks, the deb, or something else. In my opinion it’s one of the toughest part about Linux gaming–when something goes wrong you arent going to find a ton of help since there is so much fragmentation.
But anyway, I echo your sentiment. Windows is still a necessary evil for a lot of us if you are big into PC gaming.

My machine is 7 years old and runs fine on Windows 11. I don’t understand all these posts about Windows 11 not being supported. TPMs have been a thing for 10+ years now.

Apple is king of new OS doesn't work on the old hardware though

Yes! Luckily the opensource folks are crazy and make awesome progress reversing m chips It matters to me because somday (maybe 10y) I’ll get the one of my mother for free 😂 like i got my other apple PCs (running Arch/endeavourOS)

Apple’s the only hardware vendor for MacOS, so they’ve got slightly different incentives than Microsoft does for Windows. If a new MacOS release induces hardware purchases, that’s a lot of money for Apple. If a new Windows release induces hardware purchases, Microsoft sees little of that benefit.

Personally I use Linux Mint on my other machine and Windows on my main PC
Before Windows 10 goes EoL I’m going to get my NAS running a Windows VM for Fusion 360 and Lightroom and my main rig will be on Linux Mint as well
I just need a need to finish my NAS rebuild to get everything rolling at full steam
Unfortunately that means I need to stop buying car parts first

Oof. Same, brother. Same. 🤜🤛

As your attorney I advise you to buy a motorcycle. Bikes and bike parts are cheaper. And then you can have more bikes than cars, and more bikes to buy parts for. Wait, where was I going with this again?

This was my logic.
Sell the BMW and get a Ducati and then a Honda Monkey….
Ooooh shiny new Rizoma parts!!!
My account ain’t growing at all…!

If you wanted to get rid of windows in general, Darktable seems to be a good alternative to lightroom, for raw editing. There’s a learning curve, but there are plenty of tutorials available.
Not sure about Fusion 360 though… Maybe FreeCAD?
Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 months ago
Unfortunately FreeCAD is not as featur e rich as Fusion 360
It’s getting closer but it’s not there yet
