Valve's monthly survey reveals that almost 45% of Steam users on PC are still using Windows 10 even with the sword of Damocles hanging over them

There's ways to force the upgrade without doing it via Windows update
-
I use Linux mint. Steam works great. The desktop works great. Like 5 min a month checking on updates and backups.If you're gaming then bazziteos is pretty good
-
Adobe needs to be abandoned as well. Clip Studio, Krita, Gimp, Affinity are either free OSS or one-time-payment great alternatives without the AI and privacy BS.I’ve also mentioned this before but for those that need a more photoshop-like GIMP experience, try taking a look at PhotoGimp, it’s essentially a reskin+remap of all of the hotkeys to more closely match those of photoshop, and it works wonderfully.

I built a new gaming PC and installed Linux on it. After years of threatening to do it, I finally followed through and made the switch.Good luck and godspeed

I enjoyed the visual design of Win 11, but the bloatware, spyware, and AI slop it started to install was just too much. The Steam Deck has proven 99% of Steam games run fine on Linux, so I made the switch and killed my Windows partition a few months ago. Feels so clean and light running Linux - my god I never knew my PC could run so fast! Windows was really truly awful and I had no idea until I removed it from my life completely. Games run flawlessly on it - I'm using Elementary OS because it's clean and user friendly.Hmmm never had an issue with bloatware/spyware in Win11. I just turn things off if they ask me after and upgrade and away I go. Everything just works properly and the best part is all my devices work as expected.

Get a copy of Win 11 Pro Install with English (UK) as your language (doesn't prevent you from using whatever keyboard layout you want or setting your clock to your timezone) Activate using tools they can easily be found on the interwebs Deactivate the privacy infringing stuff Tada, none of the problems people complain aboutThis is a good overview though I wouldn't know how to do the specifics like get pro (I have 10 home), or deactivate all the infringing stuff. What's the UK trick? Is that just a better version or something?
-
Revert then. This is exactly what Microsoft are counting on, that people will simply go "oh well" and just carry on with Windows 11, because any effort needed to move away is too much effort. Prove them wrong. Stand up for yourself.Y'all are crazy. This is a holy crusade lol

Y'all are crazy. This is a holy crusade lolTIL having self-respect is "crazy" and a "holy crusade." What a fucking simp you are. Sad.
-
They recently made changes so that you can't easily upgrade anymore. I think you still can if you find the right hoops to jump through but this exact issue came up recently

This post did not contain any content.Yeah, but this happens with every version. Windows 7 still had a big market share up until MSFT cut off support. Users are going to bitch and complain and talk about switching to Linux, but eventually just install the next Windows version.

I built a new gaming PC and installed Linux on it. After years of threatening to do it, I finally followed through and made the switch.I just bought a laptop last year (portability and space constraints, I'd love to build a pc when I have the space for it) and it was supposed to come with windows 10. I got a windows 11 model shipped to me. I didn't ask for this. And I have to say.... I fucking hate it. Why does the start menu need to change locations... My next computer will absolutely be Linux, and it's Microsoft's own stupid fault. Windows 10 WAS supposed to be my last windows OS...

For the curious I’ve found bazzite to be the best and easiest Linux repo for gamingAbout to install it on my new rig. I am using Mint, which is fantastic and it stays on my other PC, just wanted to try the nice baked in gaming features.

This is a good overview though I wouldn't know how to do the specifics like get pro (I have 10 home), or deactivate all the infringing stuff. What's the UK trick? Is that just a better version or something?https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows11 Download multi version ISO Windows settings has all the privacy stuff but they ask you to approve (or not) a bunch of it on installation The UK trick makes you "a European" and there's a bunch of laws that restricts the bullshit...

For the curious I’ve found bazzite to be the best and easiest Linux repo for gamingInstalled Bazzite this weekend, most the games I've tested run fine and the OS is quite pretty. Microsoft forcing everyone to Spware OS after Steam released several versions or Proton are the one-two punch that will help tons of people move to Linux.

Found a copy on [archive.org](https://archive.org/details/Windows10EnterpriseLTSC202164Bit). After that, you just need a KMS activator. Massgrave's is typically the recommended one.Ngl that looks sketchy as fuck. Definitely gonna check the hash on that one if I can.

Microsoft said Windows 10 would be the last version I'd ever use. They didn't know how right they were. I've been gradually switching to Linux, and will absolutely never use Windows 11 or any other version they put out.I upgraded to Windows 11 on my gaming rig two days ago, and at the same time I switched the default boot option to Linux. Let's see how this pans out. I'll still need Windows around for specific games, but the ones I usually play seem to work on Linux.
