If that's your point, I counter it with AROS
I always imagine linux as a little hidden door to a speakeasy, but turns out to be narnia.

I remember it so clearly man... The morning of October 15 2025, a Wednesday as I recall. People were warned but they didn't listen. They don't ever listen.
I'll never forget the screaming. Millions of Windows 10 computers just spontaneously exploding all over the place. Women, children and men with beards running down the streets of every city just trying to avoid the thousands of computers being thrown from the tops of buildings. The world was never the same after that. I found an abandoned bus in the chaos so I tried to save as many people as I could. We rode into the night towards the hills. Away from the cities and the looting and chaos.
Or you know... it just means no updates and we'll all probably be fine.

Dude, I would be hesitant to use an OS more than a month after EOL. I hope you realize that your OS no longer receiving security updates is a really, really, really bad thing. People staying on Win10 instead of upgrading to Linux or macOS or downgrading to Win11 is going to be zero day heaven.
I think it would be wise to disconnect it from the internet, wifi and bluetooth; then it should be fine.
I remember even TheTechnician27 tried to warn us "it's going to be zero day heaven!" they said but everyone just shrugged and now here I am with my fellow refugees in the woods trying to catch some squirrels for my dinner.
trying to catch some squirrels for my dinner.
Excuse me? π€¨
I'm sure they mean an elegant dinner party to honor them and not eating your extended family as a light snack before bedtime.
"downgrading" caught me off guard.
Wont somebody think of the poor children and men with beards!?
I've bΓ©en using mint for almost a year, wheres my girl that stinks good? :(
It was you all along! /jk
Oh no! Linux transed my gender! Again! (I'm agender but that wouldn't be as funny)
Debian ahoy!
Already dual booting. Haven't used Linux since 2010 so it's been a bit of a learning curve. But now I haven't booted into windows for about 2 months now and it's been great for gaming.
Oh the times a-coming, but as I only really use my PC for gaming now, Iβm holding out for a SteamOS distro.
you don't have to wait, games run fine in most distros and the ones that don't are probably because of anti cheat which won't be solved with steamOS.
Yeah, I keep my Windows PC purely for League of Legends due to their anti cheat (read rootkit) and it's a pre-2017 chip, so it's not Win 11 eligible (which I've always counted my blessings for). And also the Spotify web page doesn't work well for me on Linux. Other than that, I do pretty much everything on my newer Linux machine.
yeah, part of me is happy these abusive rootkits disguised as anti-cheats "don't work" on Linux. We customers shouldn't be putting up with that crap.
I've heard good things about Bazzite if that's an option for you.
Bazzite has been awesome as a recent windows expat. 100% recommended and the only game I have not gotten working via the built in steam compatibility tools has been pubg.
I think the only thing stopping me from gaming 100% on bazzite is Helldivers 2 anti-cheat (so fucking tired of these rootkits) isn't Linux compatible last time I checked.I hope that shit changes soon, because I can't wait to fully remove windows off my extra hard drive.
Helldivers 2 is reported to work on Linux. IIRC the anti-cheat only requires kernel level access on Windows and runs in userspace on Linux.

I hate how relatable this is.
Big thing holding me up is domain auth. Someone had decent luck getting something like Bazzite joined to a DC without major manual work?
Can confirm Bazzite is just fine with domain auth, no special intervention required.
Authing against a Synology NAS domain which is presumably running Samba under the hood.
Sweet, will have to take a further look at that. Had set it up to check the state of Nix games and it seems to be pretty decent (last I really looked was when StarCraft was still a big thing). Didn't see anything in the settings about ldap/ad auth in my messing about though.
Itβs just the usual sssd setup, and even without manual futzing with config files.
Not bazzite specifically, but I have joined Linux systems to LDAP with the SSSD module which is...alright to enable and config in AD
I have joined MacOS to AD as well and THAT was like pulling teeth LMAO
