From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How long until Steam drops support on W10?
That's the important event, lol
Probably around the time developers to start requiring W11. That TPM requirement is going to be abused to hell and back.
What incentive is there for a developer to abuse that?
All of them. You want to play your single player role playing game? Better have a hardware-attested system or else we can't verify you're not receiving that armor you need for the boss through anything but a microtransaction. It's just 4.99€!
A bleak future
Kernel-level anti-cheat drivers for games, mainly.
I am using windows 10 on my tv pc so that's all I cae about.
Well they only just dropped support for Win7 and that came out in 2009.
