Soon Windows will be subscription based and PC gaming will be fractured forever. You have a decade at most of the golden era. Steam will fall in line and you will be forced to upgrade or lose everything
Soon Windows will be subscription based and PC gaming will be fractured forever...
I've been reading this kind of doomposting since the Windows Vista days
Besides, I'm not a Steamie so I don't care
I'd just go back to not paying for windows at all if this will be the case.
Unlikely
Those are the office apps, retarded itoddler
It’s the start of the end. First office apps then windows
steam already has steam os you fucking retard
Retard
Oh no
sudo apt install wine
anyway
the start
Posts something they've been doing for 10 years.
You know windows is not free right now right? Despite the fact that no one pays for it.
lol
steam will fall in line
How stupid are you to think that. This shit is the reason why steamOS exists in the first place
There is literally nothing wrong with subscriptions.
Hmmm. Nah.
Office shit
Who cares, unless you're an office wagie. Btw, not using two OS's these days is lame: Windows — for gaming only, Linux — for surfing and work.
Also, doesn't valve make it's own OS?
Windows will be subscription based
This will never happen. 99.9% of normals have a shitty windows laptop they use once a month for some task they struggle with on their phone. It would kill the retail laptop industry.
They'd just move over to Apple.
still using office 2007 for students
Lol, no. If Microsoft was so retarded to do that, they'd lose 97% of their userbase on Windows since it's free and thirdies latch onto free things, but forcing people to pay a subscription to use a operating system will chase them all away. Steam 'eck ownership will go up along with Linux users
YEARS
OF
LINUX
DESKTOP
Linux keeps getting better and better
Less frame stutter in a lot of games too
Oh look, it's trannies trying to groom underages to install troonix and transition
The writing's on the well, everything now is SasS shit. I don't think they'll outright put W12 behind a paywall but they'll release a free tier that is extremely locked down and filled with ads that render it basically unusable. They'll offer $1 free trials, and 1 year subscription with every new PC bought. That's how they'll get the normies, they don't care about a few spergs ranting on the internet. If you get a clean official Win11 install it's also very obvious where this is going, you can't even use the notepad without it prompting you to get 365.
As opposed to winjeet trannies with pride flags on start menu? Lol.
it's writing's down the well dumb zoomie
PC gaming
You have a decade at most of the golden era
that was the mid 2000's when dedicated servers, sprays, and tons of custom unmoderated shit was the norm
Don't remind me of the good days, they aren't coming back.
Windows
Don't care. That garbage is for jeet-coded nigger-cattle anyways. I use linux like a White man.
There's no such thing on my install of windows
steam will fall in line
steam has been preparing for microsoft going full retard for over a decade. it will mark the first year of the linux desktop.
wine and proton can run like 90% of shit, more if you're not a double digit iq mouthbreather and can actually use a terminal
$1
free trials
Free is zero or better
*copypaste into terminal
Lol so shit google already provides for free? Or just use LibreOffice
Your average Joe still has those
Nice falseflag. Still not switching to your tranny OS though
Why do you guys let trannies live rent free in your heads? Holy shit it feels like every one of you fucking retards are unable to form a sentence without shitting yourself about troons who will kill themselves soon enough anyway.
there is a bunch of people who were complaining about it on various forums tho: tigerdroppings.com
Why are you so content with using the corpofagOS?
see
What part of "Average Joe" do you not understand, retarded gorilla?
No such thing on my "troonix" install either, curious.
muh "Average Joe"
Nice falseflag
Never going to happen. At the very worst they'll offer an optional consumer subscription. But you'll always be able to buy a Windows license. You can still buy Office licenses too. With how their business model works for the professional IT side of things, there is absolutely no way they can do away with pay-per-license and start asking for subs.
thats not what falseflag means you dumb jeet
The funny thing is trannies don't actually use linux.
They just rice up a distro to pretend to be a linux user and then try to force everyone to agree to a code of conduct which is incompatible with FOSS principle #1
cope and seethe
dilate
Nice falseflag
Always online OPERATING SYSTEM
this idea is so cursed i believe they'll actually try it.
please drink verification can to continue
Anon Babble, is there games that you liked that aren't playable on Linux?
that's a nice synonym for installing troonix
No
is there games
Was already planning on switching to Linux full time once W10 dies this October. Question is what distro should I be using to have the most “streamlined” experience
The only games that aren't playable through wine/proton are the ones with kernel anti-cheat, so no.
If anything I consider the inability to play dogshit like valorant and apekeks to be an appealing feature of linux.
Modded to death Skyrim, I guess.
It's way too much hassle anons over /tesg/ recommend running a gaming VM.
better than buying retard capped mac and getting mac'd with the prices.
SteamOS if you only use windows for gaming.
once W10 dies this October
Faggot.
Nothing changes.
If you want to get back to gayming with minimal hassle I can recommend Nobara, which is a fork of Fedora maintained by GloriousEggroll, the guy behind Proton GE.
Mint is another great option for newfags who just want something that werks. As long as you aren't using the latest hardware, that is. It's a long term support distro so it takes a good while between updates. I was using it until I got my 9070XT in march, after that I switched over to Nobara.
Nvidia or AMD gpu?
The writing's on the well
Yeah, on the "well" of Pompeii.
(formely office 365)
what did ms mean by this
I've been wanting to mod the shit out of Todd's game once I get around to finishing Morrowind. What exactly is the problem? Does MO2 just not work properly through proton?
MO2 is not the problem (older versions still work), some skse plugins are. Also migrating my existing install to a different OS without case-sensitivity fucking over my setup. Morrowind has no problems in terms of mods though, OpenMW is a blessing.
Ah yeah I can see how migrating an existing install could be a pain in the ass.
I'll give it a try myself in the near future, and if it turns out to be too much of a hassle I'll just try a VM like you mentioned, cheers.
Currently have a Nvidia 4090. I was leaning towards mint for everyday work/tasks and maybe having a dedicated game system using SteamOS. What’s so special about Nobara?
Soon I will play 15 years old games.... oh wait... 16 years old games.
Not only are a good part of steam's users still on windows 10 despite microsoft being as aggressive as possible to get people to upgrade to windows 11, Valve is investing millions into making Linux a real gaming OS
Microsoft borderline wants everyone to have windows for free so they can sell subs for Game pass or office etc.
It just has all the packages you'd want for gaming preinstalled so you don't need to fiddle with it to get your games running. And it updates frequently, so using the newest hardware isn't an issue.
A 4090 should work just fine on Mint so I'd say give it a try and see if you like it. Just be aware that Nvidia's linux drivers can be fucky compared to AMD's. I had a few issues on my 1070 Ti that all went away when I switched to a new card. Whether that was because of outdated drivers or just my card being old, I can't say for certain, but the general consensus is that AMD cards are preferable if you're going to use linux.
Nobara is just fedora with some stuff preinstalled (You type DNF to install things via the console instead of apt-get)
The branding Office 365 was introduced in 2010 to refer to a subscription-based software as a service platform for the corporate market, including hosted services such as Exchange, SharePoint, and Lync Server, and Office on the web.
Two more weeks
Enterprise, LTSC and IoT will always be a thing. Just pirate the good versions and stop being such dumb goyim.
You act like cattle and then you wonder why they treat you like cattle
Just in time for when Linux is finally getting better.
Which one is good for programming and gaming? IoT sound barebones.
No forced updates, minimal telemetry, zero ads, and you still get security updates until 2027 if you want to get them
Mint just werks. SteamOS is okay as well though I hate the read only updates Valve do that wipe my packages.
At the end of the day, Microsoft will eventually enshittify itself as it replaces all the workers with Indians. It is inevitable. It will happen one day. Shiva the Destroyer will come for Gates' legacy.
soon (TM)
Heard that from Linux Witness countless times before, with each Windows release. Change your track.

I think your experience with nvidia is going to vary depending on your distro. I use the driver version 575 (beta) and that works good. Driver version 570, which is available in the repo of my distro is dogshit and Ubuntu for example has driver version 550 in the repos. Nvidia website also has 570.
If you were on Ubuntu and installed driver from repo.. I don't know how good that'd feel.
No it won't, Steam OS is doing fine and it's open source. Windows is already losing marketshare to MacOS and Linux pretty rapidly since it's a piece of shit. If they fuck it up any further it will just incentivize developers to target Linux, especially with Valve behind it. No one uses DirectX anymore so they aren't going to take a performance hit in most cases.
That's a Dark Side of the Moon reference, moreover.
Soon
Has been a thing since Windows 8
soon [fake shit]
Imagine being the kind of retard that looks at teh office suite and thinks that is the entirety of the operating system.
Because the site got flooded with terminally low IQ creatures 9 years ago and all they can do is call everyone and everything whatever boogeyman is currently a hot topic. Literally the only, the ONLY time I EVER hear about trannies is when on this site. When it was down and everyone flocked to superior sites, I saw not one mention of trannies because nobody actually cares about a thousandth of a percent of the global population but the mouthbreathers who think they're actually 79% of the global population.
