Ow I can upgrade, I just blocked TPM motherboard side to stop windows from doing it.
But in the end I really would like to give Linux a shot, these days I basically only play steam game or watch a movie, most of it should be easy enough nowadays in linux
Huh, and i just installed it on my secondary computer (laptop). Maybe i should setup a dual boot on my main one soon and disable network communications in the windows partition, and then migrate ny files slowly until i can confidently get rid of that partition.
Linux doesn't run what I need, getting some form of LTSC is my only option.
God I hope there will be a good enough solution for professional audio stuff when Win 10 is done. This and when will the new proper CAD software.
It sucks ass, but I don't see how one will be able to change to Linux in those spaces on a professional level. All my private stuff is on Linux systems, though.
Whatever version of Windows that allows group policy changes will let you turn off all the annoying stuff, that'd probably be your best bet for now.
I'm currently using Ardour on Arch with some packages from the pro-audio group, but I wouldn't exactly call my setup "professional"
Yeah I wouldn't mind trying out Reaper but I've only heard bad things when it comes to VST plugins.
So annoying that Steinberg takes their time to port Cubase to fucking Mac but not Linux. And even if I use Reaper, then I can't use my Focusrite interface properly.
praying for valorant to get a mac port before they kill win10. the second we get that port, i am nuking windows from my drive
Damn. My 10 year old HP all in one is gonna be bricked? Damn shame
Download the Windows 11 ISO and tick an option to mitigate the new requirements in Rufus. That's all you have to do. Or download the Windows 10 IoT iso from massgrave. Supported until 2030-something.
I think it needs to be retired. I strictly using it for streaming shows and it's about a 30% chance that I have to do a hard reboot for that to work. It's had 2 factory resets and a number of internal cleanings. It's dying bro. It's time to put it down
Fair enough. Tho if you do discover some functional hardware that's unsupported by W11, know that you don't have to turn to Linux at all.
what are the opinions on Bazzite, Garuda, Trisquel? are these ideal for those coming from windows?
Bazzite is probably fine
the first two can be, but i don't recommend trisquel to those coming from windows
I finally switched when I got truly familiar with the terminal in collage and then I happened to get a hand down pc to play around with. Installed Linux on it, and it surprisingly quickly became my main computer, especially once I got it a proper graphics card.
I’ll go Linux when I don’t need any more windows based software, and there’s been almost 0 progress made in that sector in the last 5 years.
Between games that don’t run on Linux (Apex, CoD, any other shooter) and professional tools such as Lightroom and photoshop, there’s no way to switch to Linux without needing to boot back to windows multiple times per day.
I guess it depends on your use case. I haven't owned a Windows PC since 2016. Linux all the way for me. The games I play run on it, the applications I need run on it, and it works well for me without tinkering getting in the way. I can even use it for work these days and I have far less VPN flakiness than both Windows and Mac colleagues.
For my use case the year of the Linux desktop is here, and has been for a while.
Hint: :q!
