Microsoft has finally added the official CPU support list for Windows 11 version 24H2, and the company has strangely removed several Intel processors from it.
Just realized my 10400 is on the list there. That’s not good. Not sure what they’re expecting from folk but I’m not buying a new windows PC so my options are Linux (probably) and a Mac laptop for my DAW as Linux plugin support is limited
I am currently going through my Steam library to find if there are any show stoppers for a complete switch to Linux and Proton. So far everything works fine so I am confident I can ditch Windows soon.
I actually haven’t played anything on PC since o got the Steam Deck a couple years ago so I’m covered on that front. My last major challenge is going to be music production. Reaper works on Linux and my audio interface works on Linux but I have like 20 audio VST plugins that need to be checked and I’m guessing almost none will work on Linux. So, considering my hardware will no longer be supported I have to find alternative Linux friendly versions. Realistically, I just need to switch to only built in Reaper plugins.
