Im so glad I fully switched to Linux a year ago. Never going back to Windows.

[–] hornedfiend@sopuli.xyz 2 points 22 minutes ago

i’ve been on linux on and off since 1998, however I fully switched about 5 years ago and never looked back.

I was curious around 3 months ago, between distro swapping and I installed W11. It lasted 2h until I rage installed linux and took me an entire day to wash the windows taste off. bleah…

Throw it away.

Gently

In my direction

[–] Dsklnsadog@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 4 hours ago

Why gently?

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 33 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Hold on to your butts.

Big influx of Linux-compatible office PCs hitting eBay soon.

[–] phx@lemmy.ca 10 points 6 hours ago (2 children)

That and/or a big influx of vulnerable unpatched Windows machines...

[–] milicent_bystandr@lemm.ee 5 points 3 hours ago

Any unpatched windows machine can be patched into a Linux machine.

[–] PixelPinecone 1 points 5 hours ago

This seems much more likely lol

I just lost out on the sale of two Lenovo P51 thinkpads because the CPU has been literally arbitrarily cut off. 32gb ddr4 2400mhz, quad core xeon, Nvidia GPU w/ 4gb gddr5, 512gb SSD. Because Microsoft decided to leave it off of a spreadsheet. Fuck this company….

[–] lichtmetzger@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I have two Xeon E5-2697A v4's in my system. 32 cores. My machine runs the latest AAA titles like Indiana Jones on maximum settings flawlessly.

Microsoft: "Just throw it away, bro." Bless Lord Gaben for making Proton so good, I can run 95% of my Steam library on Linux, with better performance.

[–] tacofox@lemm.ee 4 points 4 hours ago

Microsoft: “Can’t run our AI dataminer?” gtfo

Sweet, bunch of cheap laptops about to flood the market

[–] Granite@midwest.social 13 points 8 hours ago

I just installed Mint instead.

[–] HollowNaught@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago (3 children)

Does anybody know the best way to transfer all my files to Linux? I dabbled in it a bit, but I was a little worried I'd have to reinstall everything, considering I had to make a (relatively small) partition using my unused d drive space

Is there a way to transfer ~2TB worth of steam games, outside of uninstalling then reinstalling them?

[–] Nalivai@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Some of those games have native Linux build, and even though Windows version will work under Proron, native version will work better, worth checking out.

[–] PixelPinecone 8 points 5 hours ago

It will be difficult, but technically possible. You’d have to ensure bitlocker is disabled on your windows drive. If you’re not sure what that is, don’t assume that means it’s not enabled. Windows does enable it by default in some cases. It encrypts your drive and you won’t be able to access it.

But in all honesty, I’d recommend just starting from scratch if steam games are what you’re most worried about. First, some of them might not work on Linux. Second, you may encounter strange issues that require redownloading much of your library anyway. Lastly, you’ll want to transfer them to a drive with a Linux file system which will take time. That’s if you even have the drive space to spare. More likely is you’ll be formatting that drive anyway to a Linux filesystem, wiping the contents anyway.

Even with slow internet, redownloading games as needed will be way easier and likely faster.

If you’re unsure what distro to go with, I recommend going with Bazzite. It’s a distro optimized for gaming and is an atomic distro. If you don’t know what that means, don’t worry about it, just know that for most casual users, an atomic distro makes way more sense and is much less likely to break. Additionally, if you have nvidia hardware, the drivers come pre installed so it’ll work right out of the box.

[–] lichtmetzger@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 5 hours ago

Just copy C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/ to /home/yourname/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/ and Steam will recognize those games are already present when you try to download them.

What a coincidence, the end of my support for windows is also approaching.

jk I srubbed that shit from my personal devices years ago after graduating.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 13 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Browsing from a 12 year old laptop running Win7 ... what's the issue?

[–] yonder@sh.itjust.works 16 points 8 hours ago (2 children)

Malware. All the malware 🪲. That thing better be airgapped.

Even JavaScript can infect you.

Assuming your family does online banking and brokerage you then become a jumping off point for malware.

Just recycle that shit! Here's my...and address where you can recycle it to....

Microsoft finally embracing the Apple model of upgrading

[–] ItsJannnneee@lemmy.blahaj.zone 55 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

That moment when Microsoft tells people to throw away perfectly good working computers because they're running Windows 10. When Windows 10 was just coming out or had just come out, Microsoft promised that Windows 10 would be the last OS of theirs, and there would only be updates. Also Microsoft is constantly sending messages to people running Windows 10 urging them to update.

I remember that "promise" too. And here we are

[–] SirEDCaLot 19 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I really wish there was something regulatory that could be done about this. There are millions of perfectly good fully working computers that are going to go in the fucking trash because of this. I understand the desire for a TPM on every machine. It makes sense in a way. But the pure environmental impact is just indefensible. All of those computers had a significant environmental footprint to build them and ship them and again to dispose of them plus building and shipping their replacements.
If Microsoft had such a hard-on for TPM, they should have worked with computer manufacturers to make some sort of retrofit system or way of easily determining if a TPM can be added to an existing computer

[–] Tiamo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Let's not pretend Microsoft is trying to do anything else but make more money with the TPM requirement.

[–] tengkuizdihar@programming.dev 21 points 11 hours ago

Holy shit they really just said, "throw it away". Troglodytes!
