    This meme just threatened to undo the last 3 years of daily driving linux, by making me consider going back to windows

    I remember it so clearly man… The morning of October 15 2025, a Wednesday as I recall. People were warned but they didn’t listen. They don’t ever listen.

    I’ll never forget the screaming. Millions of Windows 10 computers just spontaneously exploding all over the place. Women, children and men with beards running down the streets of every city just trying to avoid the thousands of computers being thrown from the tops of buildings. The world was never the same after that. I found an abandoned bus in the chaos so I tried to save as many people as I could. We rode into the night towards the hills. Away from the cities and the looting and chaos.

    Or you know… it just means no updates and we’ll all probably be fine.

      Dude, I would be hesitant to use an OS more than a month after EOL. I hope you realize that your OS no longer receiving security updates is a really, really, really bad thing. People staying on Win10 instead of upgrading to Linux or macOS or downgrading to Win11 is going to be zero day heaven.

        I remember even TheTechnician27 tried to warn us “it’s going to be zero day heaven!” they said but everyone just shrugged and now here I am with my fellow refugees in the woods trying to catch some squirrels for my dinner.

    Already dual booting. Haven’t used Linux since 2010 so it’s been a bit of a learning curve. But now I haven’t booted into windows for about 2 months now and it’s been great for gaming.

      you don’t have to wait, games run fine in most distros and the ones that don’t are probably because of anti cheat which won’t be solved with steamOS.

        Yeah, I keep my Windows PC purely for League of Legends due to their anti cheat (read rootkit) and it’s a pre-2017 chip, so it’s not Win 11 eligible (which I’ve always counted my blessings for). And also the Spotify web page doesn’t work well for me on Linux. Other than that, I do pretty much everything on my newer Linux machine.

          yeah, part of me is happy these abusive rootkits disguised as anti-cheats “don’t work” on Linux. We customers shouldn’t be putting up with that crap.

        Bazzite has been awesome as a recent windows expat. 100% recommended and the only game I have not gotten working via the built in steam compatibility tools has been pubg.

          I think the only thing stopping me from gaming 100% on bazzite is Helldivers 2 anti-cheat (so fucking tired of these rootkits) isn’t Linux compatible last time I checked.I hope that shit changes soon, because I can’t wait to fully remove windows off my extra hard drive.

            Helldivers 2 is reported to work on Linux. IIRC the anti-cheat only requires kernel level access on Windows and runs in userspace on Linux.

          When I stop needing Windows, that’s gonna be one of the first distros I try. Haven’t tried the atomic distros properly yet.

            I spun up a win10 vm in bazzite to run my CAD and Windows specific stuff and have basically not used it in months now. The libre office suite has gotten much better over the years and most of my normal usage just didn’t end up being OS specific. Its been a great and easy transition for me.

      Same here. The minute I can be confident than my steam collection will run on Linux, I’m switching over.

          I’m not in a position to experiment, but I’m following the lead of a friend who is in such a position, and is far more technical than I am.

          I’ll ask him about proton. Appreciate the recommend.

              My current big ones are Windsail, Sunless Sea, Sunless Skies, Stardew, and Traveler’s Rest.

              Also Star Trek Online, but that’s not Steam.

              Appreciate any testing you are able to do.

            Yeah SteamOS is nothing special. Any of the big distros can give you a similarly solid gaming experience these days.

        There was a comment thread in one of the Linux communities a while back talking about this mindset. Obviously the comments got a bit rude and unconstructive, but the point is that you can switch to something like bazzite now and most things will work pretty well, but if you’re holding out until it’s perfect then you’ll be waiting forever!

      Not bazzite specifically, but I have joined Linux systems to LDAP with the SSSD module which is…alright to enable and config in AD

      I have joined MacOS to AD as well and THAT was like pulling teeth LMAO

      Can confirm Bazzite is just fine with domain auth, no special intervention required.

      Authing against a Synology NAS domain which is presumably running Samba under the hood.

        Sweet, will have to take a further look at that. Had set it up to check the state of Nix games and it seems to be pretty decent (last I really looked was when StarCraft was still a big thing). Didn’t see anything in the settings about ldap/ad auth in my messing about though.

          It’s just the usual sssd setup, and even without manual futzing with config files.

      I’ve tried before, that sounds horrible, why are you doing that to yourself.

      I’ve worked at not small companies who still thought that was too much work to mess with.

        Largely because half the services I host are tied to a Univention DC, and so are the current Windows client machines, I’d like to maintain that state.

        I know Ubuntu has an AD option when you set it up, but it doesn’t seem to work with any of the ‘AD compatible’ replacements I’ve tried.
