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.
I generally play single player games and have had little to no problems. Any issues I’ve had have required very little tinkering to fix and I’ve solved them all by simply searching online for the problem and finding out that its a common issue and someone has posted a step by step fix.
The biggest issue I’ve had is with baulders gate 3 multiplayer which I eventually fixed, but I can’t remember how anymore. Single player worked fine right out of the gate.
I’ve also had better luck playing older games on Linux vs Windows. Heroic Launcher also works great for anything you’ve purchased on GOG, Epic,and Amazon too.
