Yup bazzite with KDE plasma for my gaming rig now, thing works very well for use case!

Pry it from my cold dead hands. I have linux on multiple computers, but it still can’t play all the games and give me my 5.1 surround. Despite all the claims, it’s still not ready for primetime to do *all* the things windows does.

I'm pretty sure the final version of Windows 10 LTSC 2021 had its window of support shortened to five years to align with the end of support. Only windows 10 LTSC 2019 has 10 years of support. If you're using LTSC 2019 for gaming please be aware you will be missing any features released for windows 10 that were released after version 1809. This will harm game performance for a lot of newer titles and hardware.

Sword of Damocles? More like the sword of Microsoft can go fuck itself!

No, but it’s a set it and forget it thing. I pay zero attention to it and it just runs. Easy means it runs more if I had to check what to mine and switch and blah blah, well I’m lazy…. So for me - ya it’s better.

Bazzite is amazing. Pretty much all Ublue based distros have been the most painless Linux experience I've had in years. The biggest problem I think most users have is the Dominance of Nvidia graphics hardware. Nvidia does "work" but it's much more unstable than the much more stable AMD driver. I bought an AMD 7800xt and I'm pretty much problem free now. Since I have so many Nvidia cards I'm regularly testing Nvidia under Bazzite on a spare 2070super. It's impressive but it's not ready for average users.

At the moment I’m 50/50 between switching over to Linux full-time, or full booting Windows 10 LTSC. But having had to use it for work, I am adamant in saying that Windows 11 will **never** touch my home system drive.

I bought a laptop right after windows 11 was released. I hated it so much, I returned the laptop a few days later and bought a windows 10 one instead. Completely Linux now except that gaming laptop, but this year is the year of the Linux desktop! For me at least.

LTSC 2021 - until 2027 - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/windows-10-enterprise-ltsc-2021 But... IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 - until 2032 - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/windows-10-iot-enterprise-ltsc-2021

Windows 10??? I’m still using windows 8.1 lmao

I checked the hash, it matches

I remember those days, playing games with DOS4GW or whatever it was called. Man, I don't miss that.

Shhh, people don't want to hear that they can change things they don't like. They just want to complain about things they've never used.

What's the issue with sound? I thought that was solved since... 15 years or so. Can't help with the games though, must anti cheat games won't work without developer support. Do what you gotta do, but I'm interested in any issues that should be solvable with some config or swapping out a cheap card or something.

Yup. There's a big timer, and a ton of alternative chairs you could sit in that don't have a massive sword above them. It's not like there are any surprises here...

Yeah, I don't use critical software that doesn't get security updates, and an OS is super critical. If you're going to stick with ancient software, at least throw it in a VM so it can't screw up everything else (and don't let it touch the rest of your network).

Can’t get the surround on my A50s. Yeah, normal stereo is fine out of the box.

Marketing is 11, I think you're referring to the kernel version, which can't change due to stupid legacy software.
