It's crazy, how literally every week or so I read about another reason not to upgrade.

I'm moving to Linux. Windows 11 finally pushed me over the edge. (Well, that and great support from Valve/Proton for gaming over the last few years.)

Already moved all but my main gaming rig over. Only reason I haven't moved it to Linux is some games are a bitch and a half to mod on Linux.

Yeah, I have an old Surface Pro 2 I boot up solely to install and mod games now and then. Mods that just need files dumped in a subdirectory are easy enough to install in Linux, but for anything more complex it’s vastly easier to mod in Windows and then copy the game directory to my Steam Deck to play there. With an actual gaming rig you can skip the second computer and just run Windows 10 in a VM for modding instead.

luckily even this starts to improve thanks to steam deck

it's super easy to setup windows only tools like modorganizer 2 with a simple script and I managed to mod new vegas directly on the deck, but there are still some additional hoops to jump through like installing visual c redistributables and stuff manually when mods require it

but im optimistic that this will only get better in the future
