Microsoft says that systems running Windows 11 22H2 will continue to receive non-security preview updates after initially stating they would no longer receive them after February 2024.
Source? I game a lot on Linux and have only ever found two games which I couldn’t play on Linux. Genshin and valorant which have incompatible anti-cheats.
That’s not to say that most games which have anticheats don’t work. A lot of them I’ve tried do work like helldivers 2, ow2, titanfall 2.
Then this discussion doesn’t apply to those people. I don’t like the argument that Linux isn’t ready for mainstream yet but the reasons quoted are often some game that is itself a niche.
Edit: this is why I specifically said 90% use cases in my previous comment.
Any reason I should move off Win10?
Security updates stop next October.
Not if you have the enterprise LTS version. That is supported up to January 12 2027. And uh is free arr.
You should absolutly not pirate in an enterprise environment. Leave your pirate hat at home. Remember that it’s bossman’s money.
If you have low blood pressure issues, moving to win 11 is a great way to increase it.
Yes, Linux doesn’t spy on you and let’s you do more customized stuff
I think accounting might kill me

If you can invest 30 bucks, crossover claims to make any windows app work seamlessly in linux. Otherwise, there’s still wine to cover 90% usecases.
Worst case, you can run windows in a VM.
Anti cheat forces most people to still run windows for a number of games
