My computer doesn't meet the requirements for Windows 11 so I opted to stay on Windows 10 until support ran out. Then, as Windows does, the performance and reliability of my computer just started to deterioate more and more. A few weeks ago I completely wiped the system drive and did a fresh install of Ubuntu 24.04. Microsoft can pound sand I'm never buying a Microsoft product ever again.

Proton has been playing the steam games I've tried either just as good or even better in certain cases than Windows, which was the only thing keeping me on Windows anyway. Good riddance.

I got a Steam Deck last year and it really opened my eyes to how far along gaming on Linux has come. Even a crash-riddled game like Fallout: New Vegas runs more smoothly than it ever did in Windows.

Yeah, I"m planning on getting one as well - the switch has made me realize how great having "real" games on a portable platform is - just waiting for a hardware refresh.
