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.

    My Linux gaming problems have almost always ended up being KDE or Wayland problems and are mostly my own fault for running Arch.

    Beyond those, there are a few very popular games that purposefully lock out Linux users. They usually blame it on cheating/hacking, but most major anticheat developers tend to support linux. Prime example of this is Destiny 2, you’re probably not going to play that on Linux. If you plan on anything with VR, you may still have a rough time, but Valve is probably working on something there.
