Microsoft tried that with TPM. Which you can bypass for the most part with Rufus and a clean install. Still some kernel anticheat games you can’t do so so easily.
I’ve already switched over to Linux, just got one more system to migrate. So far 100% worth it to not deal with Microslop.
I agree. I recently swapped out my aging 2600x6core for a 5950x32core processor and upgraded from an 3070ti to a 5070 (well actually more of a sidegrade - my vram was simply too small). before this, my system had already a few years where there wasn’t much difference regarding gaming - In the current configuration and the glacial speed gaming developed i’d say i have a decade before upgrades are really needed.
Right? My APU can run almost all games up to 2020 in 3k. Not high-fps but i’m not sensible to that.
Except a few, like Valheim and Empyrion, which have 1 fps on the menu.
Do they require some special instruction sets or something, that a APU can’t handle?
They aren’t really making a ton of games that justify a costly upgrade anyways.
Honestly, my PC at this point plays FFXIV and that’s basically it. And I’m OK with that.
Can’t wait for yhem to push forced end of life on all computers

What I am truly afraid of, is they somehow get ahold of Linux, and force slopware onto it, including that EoL bs. Keep offline devices as backup.
Uh that can’t happen with Linux. The closest you can look at is Red Hat, which doesn’t affect distros from Debian or Arch.
My computer can run heavily modded Minecraft and honestly that’s all I need.
Will it Minecraft (with mods) is also the test I apply to every system I build or buy
Same, but with Skyrim!
