  • I don’t think the Windows 11 people are ever going to be converted short of some catastrophically poor management at Microsoft.

    You’ll still only get a very small subset of people willing to even attempt to switch over to Linux in those events.

    It isn’t even about disliking change or ‘using what you’re used to’ at this point, since Windows is drastically changing all the time (for the worse) but most people just get used to it as the “new normal” and we’re the weird ones for trying to actually take control of the situation, and look for better alternatives.


  • It depends entirely on the game and yes some games work with EAC on Steamdeck but not on Linux desktop…for some reason.

    Ironsight on Steam (before it shut down) didn’t work on Linux for the longest time, The devs eventually enabled EAC through proton for about a year before making it Steamdeck only during the final months the servers were online.

    And even using Steamdeck=1 in the launch commands didn’t fix that game for me. >.>


  • Should note EndeavourOS is just Arch with an easier installer and slightly pre-configured with common dependencies installed out the box.

    EndeavourOS + KDE is what got me daily driving Linux and even after using vanilla Arch for 2 months at one point, I went back to EndeavourOS because it was just less hassle.














  • Never tried any of this before, I’ve barely touched Windows (outside of work) since 2023.

    But a few of the more tech savvy people I know had done clean installs of Windows 10 LTSC IoT and recommended it.

    So I just launched a VM and started looking stuff up to see if there was a way of doing it without needing a clean install. Because seems most people I know are more willing to risk running an EOL OS than actually backup their shit…



  • You can use regedit to make the LTSC IoT installer think you’re already on an LTSC IoT build so it just installs without doing a clean install.

    I first learnt about it from this Youtube video but they only show how to get the base LTSC version and not IoT which will get updates until 2032.

    Here’s the values I used.

    “CurrentBuild”=“19044”

    “CurrentBuildNumber”=“19044”

    “EditionID”=“IoTEnterpriseS”

    “ProductName”=“Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021”

    “ReleaseId”=“2009”

    “DisplayVersion”=“21H2”

    I have them in a registry script along with txt guide I’ve been sending to my friends. Not sure if I can directly post them here however.


  • You can convert existing Windows 10 installs to LTSC or IoT, Without losing files. I’ve been helping a few people I know switch over the last few days.

    I would obviously like it if more people moved to Linux, but most people I know ain’t gonna more because of certain software…okay it’s mainly Fortnite and Call of Duty. >.>

    I’ll help anyone with it who actually wants to try Linux, I got at least one person to try dual booting.



  • I also used Notepadqq for the first year I used Linux, I ended up switching to Kate since it did everything I liked about Notepad++ and it came installed with my KDE desktop soooo.

    Also for the few times I gotta use a terminal text editor I use Micro (It really should be the default instead of Nano)
