Until the AI stuff I would have loved to get an upgrade. Now... Not so much. And good thing my computer doesn't qualify due to their arbitrary standards.

Genuine question: why not try Linux? You'll continue to get updates without the nagware. There are very few games I play that cant run on proton at this point.

Multiplayer gaming. I love games like Foxhole and they usually have a bit of trouble on Linux.

With my TPM chip off I do not qualify either, I guess at some point windows will upgrade without my intervention then be bricked, plz Proton make the 70 missing vr titles in my library work, you are my only hope!
