    I honestly don’t know what I’ll end up doing once my Win10 support runs out. I use linux pretty extensively, but there are still a lot of games I play that do not run under Proton/Wine (e.g. Mabinogi).

    Worst case, I will probably dual-boot win/lin on my next desktop, but in my experience with dual-booting in the past, I just end up using one or the other.

      Just do what I did. Build a server that runs a Windows VM with GPU passthrough with the intention of using it as your own cloud gaming service, realize the performance is shit because you bought old Xeons with horrendous single-core performance, and give up and just accept that some games won’t be playable because of anticheat. Nvidia please make GeForce Now usable at more than 1080p60 on Linux

      We do this every single windows release, the major downside of faster version cadences is we’re going to get multiple versions as the “best version”.

        Nah, I’ve never had an issue upgrading Windows until 11, and that includes going to 98, ME, and 8/8.1. But Windows 11’s UI I just absolutely hate, after trying it on my wife’s laptop.

        But hey, maybe I’ll see if BB4Win is still kicking. ;P
