This might be my wake-up call to transition away from Windows on my last device to use it: my desktop.

Because no way in hell am I going to Win11, that's the biggest piece of crap software I ever seen. And I saw Win8.

@amici Actual support ends in Jan 13, 2032. Specifically the Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 edition, which is just Windows 10 but everything unlocked and less spyware.

@amici But yeah, this really is "stop using Windows and go over to Linux". Wine works great. My entire steam library basically works out of box. When you absolutely need a Windows machine, virtual machines starting to get more and more native speeds.

If there was ever a time to switch to Linux I feel this is the big one

@jeder @amici Wasn't for me. What was agony was the amount of research I had to do specifically to get native-speeds. (hardware passthrough specifically).

But QEMU + virt-manager? That experience been very good for me tbh
