Or maybe they will launch Win 12 with optional TPM support.
Imho making the OS(es) TPM only cannot be good for their business, many people are still on Win 10 with no intention to switch, since their motheboard does not support TPM and do not want to upgrade PC / waste PCI-E slot on TPM extension.
Lol.
Just look at the comments here about gaming problems on Linux.
Seriously - you never see these problems on windows these days.
“We’ll, just buy different hardware” is one answer. Imagine saying that to someone who has an extant gaming setup running windows.
You mean OP whose hardware will be obsolete for running up to date Windows and it’s on the bargaining stage of grief?
I use Linux for gaming. I have no problems nor I’ve found a game I can’t play. I know there are, just that no game I wanted to play had idea issues, and I don’t even check before buying them anymore. And I’m supposed to have bad hardware for Linux, having had Nvidia all my life.
Most comments I’ve seen are from people who haven’t tried, just parrot what others parroted.
I recall setting up wine for the original World of Warcraft. That was such a pain to do. Performance was great.
Running games on Linux now is easier than I ever could imagine. Especially with steam and the other launchers added such as Lutris.
Been rocking the game Grounded on my steam deck while my kids are on their windows machines. And it has great performance even output to 1080p monitor.
I agree it seems like most the comments are from people who haven’t even attempted to run games on it. Or maybe there attempt was just to double clicked the setup.exe and it didn’t work like windows and they threw their arms up and walked away.
Feels like ages ago interacting directly with wine. Wine tricks, Play on Linux, Crossover, Lutris, Bottles and Steam with Proton. Each one better and better and simpler than the previous.
And let’s not forget Nvidia drivers. For the past 3 years at least they are just baked into the the Distros I use, even less work to make them work than Windows.
