As everyone know, Windows 10 support is ending very soon, and here i am having a very old hardware that couldn’t support win11. So my choice now is either:
1)keep using it and risk security breach
2)upgrade hardware to something that support TPM 2.0 and upgrade to win11(costly)
3)switch to Linux and game using Proton
Since i mostly use this machine to watch movies, youtube, and gaming, and most of my game is on Steam anyway(some free games from Epic, and two from Window store), i’m wondering if it’s better to just switch to linux from now on and wanted to know what’s the compatibility of the game of late. Note that eventually i will have to upgrade my machine anyway, it barely play any new game released this few years.
So, finally made the jump a few months ago when upgrading (last PC to have windows, as I am very familiar with Linux), but didn’t really know how compatible my games were on Linux. I opened steam, and of my ~600 game library, maybe a dozen weren’t compatible. I haven’t really tested the epic and gog games I have much yet, but I assume that there isn’t going to be too huge of a problem with them. And for reference, my distro isn’t gaming focused (Endeavoros, Sway community edition), so I wouldn’t really worry about it much.
For GOG Lutris is basically as easy as Steam.
Yeah, I’ve got that and heroic. I’ve downloaded a decent amount of the epic games, but haven’t really played them much, so I can’t really confirm that it’s a seamless experience on that front, though it probably is.
