Gentle reminder to everyone that support for #windows10 ends in about 90 weeks. Many computers can't upgrade to Win 11 so here are your options:

1. Continue on Win 10 but with higher security risks.
2. Buy new and expensive hardware that supports Win11.
3. Try a beginner friendly #Linux distro like #linuxmint. It only takes about two months to acclimate.

I’ve been wanting to ditch Windows for a while now. I’ve tried dual booting so that I only boot to Windows if I need to play some game that only works on it.

But usually the thing I do the most on my PC is: play videogames. And majority of the games I enjoy are using 3rd party anti-cheats such as EAC and so on. And to my understanding, there are no really a good ways to get those games work on linux at this moment.

Sure, if I played mostly Linux supported games or single player games (I guess big chunk of those work thanks to Steam and Proton) there would be no such a big issue but I am not willing to quit some of these games just so I can make the switch to Linux.

But what I have decided on is that W10 will be my last Windows on my home PC.

I am curious, if anyone has been in similar situation and have come up with a good solution? Maybe two PCs + KVM switch?

Surely if I search the internet I can find many solutions but I am interested to see what this community has to say about this.
