I’ve been dual booting windows 10 and arch Linux. I only used windows for running Microsoft flight simulator.
Instead of upgrading to windows 11, I’m switching to x plane, which has a native Linux build.

#112I don't plan to upgrade beyond Windows 10 and Mac OS X. If I gotta go to a version 11, it'll be X11.

#113Earlier quoted context omitted.
That's fair, I guess I thought you meant suing out of existence. It's tough to say. Annoying Linux people like me tend to have horse-blinders on towards the rest of the world (hence the constant meme of the "Year of the Linux Desktop"), so it's tough for me to speculate with any kind of objectivity. That said, Steam Decks seem to be selling pretty well, and people don't seem to mind the SteamOS part of it. I think th…
So far, they are targeting Windows and let Valve do the needful, instead of actually targeting SteamOS.
Are you saying that Microsoft might make some change to their API that would be difficult or impossible for Proton to replicate? Otherwise I don't see the issue with targeting Windows and letting Proton handle the compatibility.

#114it's the last operating system

#115I'm sure I'm not alone, but I'm not 11 because Microsoft won't let me.
My game machine on W10 runs the games I want it to run well enough as well, which is nice.

#116Windows 10 is the IPV4 of operating systems.
So was 7, and 95, in their day.

#117I've been using Windows 11 without much complaint since its release, but off the top of my head, I can't name a single "feature" that would motivate me to upgrade if I were on Windows 10, besides "continued support."
It doesn’t nag you incessantly to upgrade to Windows 11
Turn off TPM in your BIOS and it will quite nagging you. Windows 11 won't install without TPM 2.0.

#118How do they deal with not having file browser tabs?!
That feature never made sense to me and I always disable it on my GNU+Linux, if I encounter it. Almost always when I want to open 2 different file locations, is because I want to copy files from one folder to another and because I am a lazy lad, i'll just do it by drag and drop. This just works perfectly fine with two windows. Not sure what I would need tabs for. But I also don't care if they exist. Maybe some users…
DnD works between tabs too, FWIW. At least on macOS and Gnome and KDE file browsers.
But I agree, I like to see both source and destination if I'm GUIing it.

#119I am still using Windows 10. A major reason for me to not upgrade is all the media coverage of ads, user tracking, forced subscriptions and unnecessary AI features in Windows 11. Also, Windows 10 is just plain really good. I do have TPM and strong hardware. Windows 11 reputation is the main concern.
Likewise. I have no reason at all to "upgrade" to windows 11 even though my current hardware supports it.
