Is SteamOS included? I am not really surprised. Linux is quite often only usable option, now when Win 10 is not really supported.

Why not use Win 11?

    1. Ads

    2. Built-in cloud AI spyware / Copilot

    3. Millions of abandoned laptops that had been made 4-5+ years ago. Basically electronic and ecological waste: machines from 10 years ago work perfectly fine if you change thermal paste and don't hit them too much. Even if you don't care about the planet, you might care about your wallet though.

      3 is especially ironic with that green leaf and energy recommendations slapped in settings

    Because it's actively user hostile? Microsoft shoving their spyware and unwelcome AI into it regardless of consent

    For video games as of today, SteamOS presents double digit performance gains on average over Windows, running Windows games on Steam Deck and similar platforms.

    Because there's lots of good hardware out there that's unsupported by Windows 11, but supported just fine by Linux distros.
