A great disturbance in the Fediverse

As if all of Lemmy cried out at once.

I’m fine with Windows 10 for now, but when its no longer supported I will have to either use an unsupported OS, replace my (perfectly good) PC or switch to Linux. I know what I’ll be choosing.
- If I was you, I'd start that process now, dual boot for a bit. Make the transition gradually.
  
  I am doing that for friends and family. For now Windows is the default in Grub. Most are trying out Linux and like it.
  
  This is what I've done. I know I'll have to fully rip the bandaid off at some point, but sometimes you find a program that just won't run on your system for some reason
  A good example is MTG Forge. Despite having a native Linux version, it just crashes every time I try to load a custom deck. Works perfectly on my windows version tho
- Or install ltsc 🤷
- SteamOS?
  
  You mean arch with steam preinstalled?
- Windows 10 LTSC can be downloaded from official links found here. An activation script is available from the same source.
  Using this allows you to continue using Windows 10 with much less issue for quite a few more years.
  A tool like O&O Shutup is also invaluable for maintaining your sanity on currently supported versions of Windows.
- Check out pop Linux. I made the move a couple months ago and my games work great.

  I find your lack of faith disturbing. You can install Windows 11 anyways.
  Be careful not to choke on your aspirations.
  
  Just use Enterprise IoT LTSC 2024, it doesn’t require tpm 2 and secure boot
  
  linux is free and it can do pretty much everything windows can, but better.
- Windows 12?
