      Start dual booting with Linux just to give it a try so won’t have to remove Windows as you give it a test drive. That’s what I did and I found out that Linux isn’t as bad or cryptic as some people make it seem. Haven’t even booted into my windows in over a month now.

          Which online games are you trying to play? I’ve had pretty decent luck with most online games. Can even play Helldiver’s 2.

        Linux is user-centric but it’s also a giant pain in the ass to use. Right now my laptop boots up when I shut it down and close the lid, so I have a perpetually dead battery, and I can’t seem to pass access to the camera to any apps at all. I also can’t seem to get any video editors to utilize the GPU for rendering. That’s just today’s problems.

      I am really hoping they will provide at least 2 more years of updates for everyone (perhaps the EU can force them to).

      Upgrade to W10 Enterprise IOT LTSC and you’ll get security updates until 2032. Search mass gravel and read the W10 EOL guide. Took me 10 minutes with no data loss.
