    Microsoft will wait until everyone who was willing to use win11 switches, and once they notice too many people swapping to linux they will come out with a statement saying they will continue to support win10 with security updates

    Remember friends, don’t just say “Switch to Linux”. Don’t be the neckbeard they all expect us to be, with a superior attitude. Offer to help them, word it like “I’ve been using an alternative to Windows that I’ve really liked, it’s like the Steam Deck, and it’s easy to try if you’d like me to show you sometime”. Give them an opening, let them come to you. Each of these moments is how we slowly claw market share away.

        What are you talking about? I have an nvidia card I game on all the time. The only thing that hasn’t been supported for me is Gamescope, which is not required. It’s definitely a nice to have if you’re building a SteamOS type build where you want to boot into steam, but I’ve used it on PopOS perfectly fine.

    I switched to PopOS a little while ago because of this. Besides some minor gripes (like not being able to customize system sounds) its been pretty dummy proof.
