Gentle reminder to everyone that support for #windows10 ends in about 90 weeks. Many computers can't upgrade to Win 11 so here are your options:

  1. Continue on Win 10 but with higher security risks.
  2. Buy new and expensive hardware that supports Win11.
  3. Try a beginner friendly #Linux distro like #linuxmint. It only takes about two months to acclimate.

How long until Steam drops support on W10?

That's the important event, lol

Probably around the time developers to start requiring W11. That TPM requirement is going to be abused to hell and back.

What incentive is there for a developer to abuse that?

All of them. You want to play your single player role playing game? Better have a hardware-attested system or else we can't verify you're not receiving that armor you need for the boss through anything but a microtransaction. It's just 4.99€!

I am using windows 10 on my tv pc so that's all I cae about.
