Next personal GFX update I'm going AMD and installing Linux on my gaming PC no matter what

But I get it, you don't want to maintain old builds forever. And given that certain systems still run Windows XP you have to force people and money is the only thing that talks

Good thing by then I'll hopefully have upgraded computer, again, and be on the Mint train (or whatever distro tickles my fancy). I definitely gotta get on trying out a few on my backlog of distros to try on a VM before then.

Oh no!

Anyway, think how great gaming on Linux will be in 2 years.

My only holdback is modding - it's tougher to do without dancing among wine configs. Really hoping for some innovation there.

I mean, it is great now, it'll just keep getting better.

German Government is still paying for XP and Win7 Updates, because some software just isn't available on newer OS's.

My daily driver is an endeavorOS install, the only reason I keep windows 10 on a small SSD is for GeForce Now since the windows app is the only platform they provide that supports streams at 120+fps and 1440p. My windows 10 install is just a GeForce Now thin client ever since I got att fiber.

Guess I'm putting linux back on my laptop.. Only kept Windows 10 on it, on the rare occasion where having windows without having to spin up a VM was useful to begin with, so its not a major loss i guess.

Just hope battery managements gotten better than the last time I tried, cause god damn that really ruined my battery in no time.

Kinda bullshit, if you have made the patches anyway, just release them you bums. It's your own fault for repeatedly making shittier OS's that nobody wants to swap to.

Not how business works.
if it was, this would be a literal utopia.
