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.

    I’m using a 6500xt. It’s low to mid tier and I depend a lot on FSR as well as AMD Adrenalin Software. I don’t think I’m able to reliably make them work on Linux

      FSR works, but if you rely on Adrenalin then that does not. You’re mostly counting on graphics configuration built into the games.

      Though Gamescope can do a lot of what Adrenalin does (FSR, forcing resolutions both virtual and actual) but is less intuitive.

      Native Vulkan games obviously run better than D3D translation but DXVK is pretty damn good now to the point where I forget it exists.

      If your current setup works no need to mess with it, mostly I do a lot of dev stuff that works better on Linux and don’t want the hassle of dual boot. But at least know that it’s feasible if MS breaks Windows for good some day!
