So since they’re stopping updates to Windows 10 soon, my comp sci peoples help me decide what to do. My PC i’ve had for 8 years now isn’t good enough to run Windows 11, so I was thinking of switching to a Linux distro, but i like playing GTA on it. HELP

I would just keep windows 10 and start saving for a new computer. I know it’s expensive but 8 years is a good run. Just please don’t anything sketch on it. As your computer stops getting updates, you will stop getting security patches. Mostly that means no piracy and no niche/not-well-known (often porn) websites. Again, id look into saving for a new computer. Also keep an eye out for SteamOS. It’s not available for computers yet but they say it’s on the way.

I feel like i ran out of characters too fast, But I’ve heard Linux isnt the best for gaming, take that with a grain of salt because I haven’t dug too deep into this topic yet. I just started at my new job making very good money, should I just bite the bullet and buy a new PC?

I mean, 8 years is a pretty good run. I don’t think it would be a bad idea to get a new pc

If you really wanna experiment with Linux, look into baazite but do not expect it to be a good experience yet.

After 8 hours of working, walking my dog, making dinner, cleaning around the house. No shot my brain is even capable of anything productive at that point lmaooo. GTA is a necessary wind down for me

But BET thank you ima look into that… gonna weight my options but heavily considering just biting the bullet on a new PC. #1 had a great point, 8 years was indeed a great run
