bruh i'm using cracked Ltsc w10, so less bloatware and i dont want to use this shit or w11 anymore.
I don't plan on moving to spyware11. just too lazy to reformat and start from scratch on everything so haven't made the jump yet.
The year of the Linux desktop, babeyyyyyy!!!
The vibe I've been getting lately looking at Steam's push for Steam OS compatibility is that it might actually be worth trying a dual boot again next time I can bestir myself to mess with it. I've got W11 but managed to disable auto updates so I haven't received all the AI crap, but also means my OS is increasingly behind on security updates, which I'm not pleased about.
I don't care about the latest and greatest either, generally, so maybe even more worth it...although most of my new game purchases are indie titles and most of those only release for windows. So we'll see. I already have a strong preference for Mac support so I can play stuff on my laptop too.
Generally speaking, as long as the game doesn't have kernel-level anticheat, it'll work on Linux. Basically, you miss out on some competitive multiplayer games, but not all. Everything else works fine, you might have to check protondb.com for some specific fixes, but usually Steam handles all that stuff in the background. For GOG/Epic/itch.io etc. Heroic Games Launcher is your best option, though sometimes I have to use Bottles for certain games. Some people like Lutris, I haven't had any luck with it. But, for the most part, games "just work" on Linux now.
Feels like the perfect time
Does anyone know how core parking/scheduling is in Linux for 9950X3D cpus? AMD finally got it working near flawlessly in Windows, kinda don't wanna give that up.
Can't speak to that exact CPU - but Linux tends to have excellent support for AMD. It's why Linux users strongly recommend using an AMD graphics cards. I'd be surprised if windows offered a better experience
