Gentle reminder to everyone that support for ends in about 90 weeks. Many computers can't upgrade to Win 11 so here are your options:

  1. Continue on Win 10 but with higher security risks.
  2. Buy new and expensive hardware that supports Win11.
  3. Try a beginner friendly distro like . It only takes about two months to acclimate.

niske,

I’ve been wanting to ditch Windows for a while now. I’ve tried dual booting so that I only boot to Windows if I need to play some game that only works on it.

But usually the thing I do the most on my PC is: play videogames. And majority of the games I enjoy are using 3rd party anti-cheats such as EAC and so on. And to my understanding, there are no really a good ways to get those games work on linux at this moment.

Sure, if I played mostly Linux supported games or single player games (I guess big chunk of those work thanks to Steam and Proton) there would be no such a big issue but I am not willing to quit some of these games just so I can make the switch to Linux.

But what I have decided on is that W10 will be my last Windows on my home PC.

I am curious, if anyone has been in similar situation and have come up with a good solution? Maybe two PCs + KVM switch?

Surely if I search the internet I can find many solutions but I am interested to see what this community has to say about this.

niske,

I’ve been recently addicted to Subnautica games and finished Below Zero just a week ago or so.

I also expected much worse experience as I’ve heard a lot of people hating on it.

In the end, I had a lot of fun playing it through but I definitely can see why someone would be a bit disappointed of it. There’s a lot of differences to it compared to the original.

Sometimes it felt like it was made much easier than the first one. Like very often you could go quite deep without any vehicles because those oxygen giving plants were everywhere. I liked how brutal the first games was with this. If you went too deep without a vehicle or airpipes, you most likely died.

Also the map felt much smaller and the sea was much less deep. And the leviathan creatures seemed much less dangerous and scary.

Overall it was still fun to play there and while the story wasn’t perfect, I think it was still entertaining.

I really liked the jukebox feature. I wish there was a mod to add that to the original.

And the sea truck modules were a fun idea. But nothing can replace how awesome the cyclops is to travel with. At least in my opinion.

But nevertheless, it was still a subnautica game and I had a blast with playing through it. I am excited for the next Subnautica game :) in the meanwhile, I’ll try to beat the original with some mods and hardcore mode.
