  • UBlock Origin and YouTube revanced, that's the combo you should try using. No need to worry about looking at the ad if there is no ad.

  • Good point, I should have mentioned that. Although I think it would be reasonable to say that paying a subscription for security updates would be a non-starter for almost all of the home users.

  • My decision was to install Linux Mint first on my work laptop and not my main gaming rig, so I would have the ability to switch between both OS's as needed, and have a fallback machine if either failed.

    ProtonDB (Compatibility Database) should be your friend in checking what works and what doesn't, and for the most part, Windows games "just work", no need to even toggle a setting (unless you count forcing Proton instead of a native Linux port).

    If you have software that is critical to your daily life on windows (Photoshop, Autodesk, VR software, anti-cheat heavy games), you dont need to jump ship on your main hardware. There are ways to get support after October 15th (Through IOT LTSC versions of windows 10, but you'll have to find a way to get it).

    All of your other use cases would be perfectly served by any Linux distro, the Interstellar Lemmy client even has a convenient flatpack for a 1-click install.

    Check ProtonDB first (you can even log in to view all your library at once). If everything you would want to play works, go for it! If not everything works currently, I'd recommend getting your hands on IOT LTSC win10, and use a spare device to get familiar with Linux distros.

    There's no one "gaming" Linux distro that will work, but I personally just use Linux Mint because it is ol' reliable for me - intuitive enough GUI, but just as configurable as anything else. You do miss out on some of the more bleeding edge stuff that distros such as Arch and Bazzite get, but unless you are using very new hardware, I'm not sure if it would be necessary.

  • You are excited for October 15th because less people will be trumpeting Linux migrations.

    I am excited for October 15th for the avalanche of cheap liquidated hardware flooding eBay.

  • No updates for consumer versions of Win10. Including security ones. If on October 15th a zero-day exploit is out in the wild, Microsoft would not be obligated to patch it. They may regardless (see WannaCry Malware patch for Windows XP), but it will not be ongoing, and probably not all-encompassing.

    The longer you use the machine on win10 after October, the more exposed you are to any exploit found in the existing windows 10 version.

    What this post is trying to present is that Linux distributions almost never run into these issues - especially when it comes to running on legacy hardware. If you install Linux Mint today, you'll still be able to update it in october and beyond, for the foreseeable future.

    Edit: There will be a subscription option to receive extended security patches from MS for Windows10, but it will not be free, and the price will rise as time passes (similar to win7).
