Just had the Steam Survey pop up and so as always decided to participate and quickly look at some of the stats. I was honestly a bit surprised to see Windows 11 drop by 10.43% in February. Year of Linux Desktop now lol?

Lots of people don’t give a flying fuck about running unsupported OS’s on their machines if it still does everything you want, security tends to be an afterthought.
Though this is windows we’re talking about so security wasn’t ever really a forethought in the development process of it so I can’t really blame the users.
Technically we are still getting security updates for another year provided you jump through some onedrive backup loophole.
I will re-examine how lazy I am vs the difficulty of Linux in 11 months time.
I’m an idiot and Mint has been a piece of cake, even installing it, even with an NVIDIA graphics card and gaming. My biggest regret is not doing it sooner.
Caveat: I don’t rely on Adobe products, YMMV depending on your exact needs. But I don’t even have Wine installed because I just haven’t needed it.
Have you heard of WinBoat?
It runs a Windows VM in the background and then connects to it using remote desktop.
Give it a try now. There’s loads of user friendly distro choices now.
