1025

2024 is the Year of Linux on the Desktop, at least for my boyfriend. He's running Windows 7 right now, so I'll be switching him to Ubuntu in a few days. Ubuntu was chosen because Proton is officially supported in Ubuntu.

I mean that's true, but what what I was specifically referring to was those using top-of-the-line hardware, which you can't properly utilize on those systems because the CPU scheduler isn't optimized for modern CPUs and you can't really make good use of the GPU either due to the lack of DX12. With that hardware you need Win10+ or a somewhat recent version of Linux.

It's almost certainly a very small percentage of the already small percentage of people still running Win7/8, but I'm just stunned everytime someone brags about such a crappy setup.
