Year of the Linux desktop is nigh.

Well I finally move to a full time Linux desktop on my PC this year

Ditto. Windows is now impossible to decrapify. Have dipped my toe in Linux gaming about a half dozen times starting in 2004 but it never felt ready til now. Proton, nvidia drivers and distros like Nobara making it not just possible but a better experience.

Especially since Windows 10 starts retirement in a year, and a lot of PC's aren't compatible with Windows 11

I have two computers that I attempt to install Windows 11 on just out of curiosity. My old gaming rig which has a motherboard from I would think 2016 (technically the entire computer is from 2010 but other than the case I don't think any component is that old) can install Windows 11. A laptop I got in 2019 can't install it. How does that work?
