I don't think they think about the user at all.

They want that telemetry/ad money baby!

Still waiting for Fedora to get VR support

I'd rather pay for security updates than invite more AI and Microsoft sponsored spyware onto my computer...

Win10 LTSC still has quite a few years left.

It’s not available for individual consumers though unless you pirate it, isn’t it? (which makes it perfectly good reason to pirate it)

My steam deck has taught me that I'll be completely OK running linuxn(probably arch) as my daily driver with a win 11 dual boot (maybe just a vm?) for things that simply won't work on proton.

[–] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Do not use Arch as a daily driver if you are a beginner.

Despite what some people will try to claim, Arch is not stable.

SteamOS is not the same as its base Arch Linux. If you want something slightly easier but still Arch-based, try EndeavourOS (but please not Manjaro).

If you have the time, try switching on your own terms within the next year. It's almost guaranteed you'll run into issues, but trying to dual-boot now rather than later gives you all the time you need to figure it out before MS forces you on Windows 11.
