I got most of my games run pretty good now with the help of Steam compatibility and Wine now what should I do moving forward, win11 is a strong no go because I heard rumors about Microsoft locking bootloader with software update and I can’t stand fucking copilot/edge, should I wait until EOL or do it now? I’m pretty noob when it comes to Linux but I know what distro I’ll use (Fedora+KDE). Sorry for bad grammar English is not my first language

    I would hold onto it for a bit. If you want to run software that isn’t from Steam like the game modding app Vortex for example it can be easier to tinker with it on Windows.

    Most of it can run on Windows just fine with Wine or Lutris but you might run into the odd graphical glitch that can be a headache if you are inexperienced especially if you rarely use that application.

      Yeah I’m like modding Skyrim not complex mods just texture mods but I don’t use Vortex I use MO2 (I think it has a Linux port) because it’s easier to troubleshoot

        Just a warning if you leave your Windows partition mounted: By default it’s 777 (Linuxese for world-readable, world-writable). If a user gains command execution they can nuke your Windows install without being root, which was my final reason to switch to only Linux.
