It helps that I don't care a bit about online games. I'm a single player gamer anyway (for the most part). Half the time when I want to do MP stuff it doesn't work out anyway like with Total War: Warhammer III or whatever number it is. And that has a linux version anyway. Even Stellaris doesn't work well in MP now on YOUR OWN network, let alone the net. It's madness. I'll definitely drop back and outline what I decided on as well as the setup. Probably won't get it till mid-next year anyway. LTSC is basically windows minus the crap. Mostly used for kiosks and the like though I've been using it for a long time now. As such WIn10 LTSC doesn't actually end till 2027 I believe. So I'm in no particular rush. There is a Win11 LTSC coming (or maybe out already not sure), I'm just done with windows completely. It's time to move on. When I may need an ad-blocker for damn Explorer (or it's even being discussed) it's time to get the hell out. EDIT: I haven't heard of Bazzite before so I'll be sure to check that out, thanks!

Funny how half a year changes things. I'm definitely switching to Linux for the new computer. Enough is enough. And I don't even use full windows, I'm always on the LTSC variety.

I'm just so sorry that he suffered... greatly. Yes. Very sorry.

I don't even give M$ or Apple my ID, they really think I will to the Nexus? Besides most of the better mods (adult or otherwise) are off-Nexus now anyway. Either from their woke trash moderators or the limitations.

Even with all that, TES6, assuming it ever gets released, won't have a decent soundtrack at least. Which means it will be a total woke dumpster fire. The more I'm thinking on it.... I only really like about half the Skyrim soundtrack anyway. I hated the title song, and despite liking Oblivion's soundtrack... I still had all music off there too. I always have music off in games as no matter how good it gets, it gets old. Until BG3. (Too bad it was so woke everywhere else. But mods are fixing it thank goodness!)

Hard to pick a favorite one there. Is it the Shaman? The anti-white pledge? Or declaring anybody not woke never use your software?

Yeah don't do it. I still have a working FO4 before they trashed that with the update (and that modding scene is still a mess by the way) but it is just not worth the effort anymore. Go play something that only needs a few mods to work out instead. (What few of those there are. ) For new stuff I only focus on indies now. All the AAA's can spew out is woke trash with ugly characters. And a good portion of the indies too. Have to look out for those bait and switch tactics like BG3. Pre-release (friend of mine got it then): no woke trash. Release: full of garbage. No thanks.

Absolutely. Very glad I never bought BG3. Now I can still play it, minus all the woke crap thanks to non-Nexus mods and all with a clear conscience.

Same. Even now when I see the bland, desolated wasteland screenies from Starfail, I amazingly still have no interest in even checking out the modding scene. Seems I at long last part company with Howardism. (About damn time I think!! )

Yeah he deserves the mountains of hate at this point. Guy is a total ass.

Heh, looks like "dual boot" is going to have to mean: physically swapping out the Windows C drive with the Linux boot drive. Some years ago when the Macs were still intel, you could actually have a nice snazzy looking interface to switch between all 3 OS's at startup. Funny how "progress" looks more and more like regression.

Heh, that is so true. M$ really is adversarial in their approach. I was originally planning on my new machine to be dual boot, but with all the mess lately I'm seriously considering ditching windows totally. It's just getting harder and harder to jump through the hoops they put in front of you for doing what you want on your computer.

I still listen to NWN soundtrack songs. Wonderful work!
