Not a good advice. A friend of mine is still on win7 and it still works and got security updates time to time. But some programs actually stopped working or only older lts versions remain workings. Win10 is probably still ok for a year or two.

The interesting part is, did you ever buy stuff at his ever again?

Nice to her! Which vsts do you use? Sadly i stopped doing music some years ago, but i have bitwig and some bought vsts. I wondered using them will be an issue. Like if they have an installer for windows.

I recently made the switch and motivated a friend who is still on win7 to go to linux. While installing and setting up his system i realised that you still need some konsole handling skills, that normal windows user not really have. To me thats normal, growing up with dos and win311, but if you started with win 2000 or later. Thats all new stuff.

I think laptops/computers that are all ready setup completely usable, should be a thing, thought.

The windows 11 ads worked. I installed Linux a month ago and would say the transition is done and iam really happy.

Can confirm!

Its called Installing linux.

I still wonder what the difference made. I would image, it should be the same.

Did you try lutris out of flatpak? I don’t know why but this version has less issues. I compared lutris vs bottles and for me the performance of bottles was way worse. (Sadly). Because the bottles ui is much better

Do you know what the issue was? Iam on kubuntu with the flatpak version (important) of lutris and battle.net + sc2 just runs out of the box. With a normal installation of lutris it didn’t.

The most important setting for me, was to set the enemies as passive. So you can kill them off when you need place and they will never attack you on their own.

Factorio. The new dlc hooked me into a 5h gaming session at one eve. I cant remember when i did that the last time in my life. Probably with 15? But be warned, the game isn’t called cracktorio without reason.

For me the same, but with kubuntu. Linux is really ready to be used as a desktop.

Just go for it! Did it recently and the overall experience is actually getting impressed multiple times.

Sounds nice, how useable is it?

Or he could try a arch distro like manjaro.

Iam out of the loop. What kind of cheats are available in gta online? Edit: or what was available.

LoFi

Or just use Firefox with ublock?

Yeah for sure it is cheaper, if they only have to pay the operational costs. Not the ones of building and decomissioning the plant. Lol.
