Will they rename Windows (Winslop) to “CopilotOS”? If yes, I’ll nuke Windows 10 (!) from my SSD, then replace it with Manjaro or some similar simplified Arch derivative, as my main OS.
The only reason I haven’t switched to Manjaro permanently is because mods for the Warhammer tides games is much more tedious and I play Battlefield 6. The rootkit anti cheat software that many of the new multiplayer games use suck, but I do still want to play some of those games.
Been running Bazzite for a year with minimal gaming issues. Only reason to run windows for games IMO is if you have to have a rootkit running to play, guessing that’s why you’re still using it?
Also the kids mom (my co-parent) is now on Aurora which is basically the same as Bazzite just less gamer centric. Both are really slick modern Linux experiences so far imho.
Check out Aurora for all your friends and family members you want something really awesome, low maintenance and pretty indestructible for. We’ve not used it for long but it seems really fantastic. Like the distro I would dream up for mainstream (desktop non gamer) users. Or Bazzite if they are gamers. Easy!
That’s three less Windows machines I’m responsible for… whoopee! (Mom was previously using Mint.)
2026 is the year of the Linux desktop! ;-) ;-) ;-)
I’m sticking with LMDE myself because it’s been perfect for me for 15 years already.
Its time to leave these games. As hard as it is, their lact of respect of you in supporting linux (which they can easily do) is just as bad in my eyes as Microslop and windows. Tons of great games work on steam on linux, even lots of multiplayer games. I’m done with windows and done with anti-cheat lock-in. Vote with your wallet.

Now I only use the damn windows os for games…otherwise windows sucks

Thanks OP
It’s fuckin great, my kids are using it!
It’s the only reason I’m still there at this point. Fucking Easy Anti-Cheat.
