Windows 10 will reach end of support on October 14, 2025. The current version, 22H2, will be the final version of Windows 10, and all editions will remain in support with monthly security update releases through that date. Existing LTSC releases will continue to receive updates beyond that date based on their specific lifecycles.

At this point, I can use Linux for most things except older fangames, reliable printing (seriously, cups is pain), and some mmorpgs.

When I move, thinking mint with cinnamon because I love that desktop.
Being serious: what MMORPG or old game isn’t able to run on Proton or Wine by now?
Literally everything I’ve tossed at Linux Mint and told “use proton 9” has just worked? Currently playing the most heavily modded FNV run I’ve ever done while also experiencing actually 0 crashes for the first time and I’m not actually 100% sure how that’s happening?
I’ve been shocked with Linux’s game capabilities through proton 9 at this point and would love to hear of a use case where it’s not working just to see if I could get it working for the fun of it if I get some time
