Windows 12 May Require a Subscription - Lemmy.world

[A]n INI configuration file in the Windows Canary channel, discovered by German website Deskmodder, includes references to a “Subscription Edition,” “Subscription Type,” and a “subscription status.”

I know there’s always someone evangelizing Linux when you mention Windows anything, but when Microsoft requires a subscription for Windows is the day I will actually move to Linux.
Why not now?
Games for me. Unless there has been a lot of progress the past few years? Can you play any game with no fiddling and have them run well yet?

Linux gaming has made mind blowing progression thanks to Valve If you’re using Steam, most games run, zero fiddling needed.

I’m running Void Linux and have no issues running most games. Proton pretty much handles everything. And performance is often better than on Windows these days.

Other platforms are a bit more difficult. There are several apps that take care of the heavy lifting, but a bit more knowledge is required.

Pretty much thrown out every Windows installation and haven’t missed them at all.
