Steam has now officially stopped supporting Windows 7, Windows 8, and Windows 8.1.::95.57 percent of surveyed Steam users are already on Windows 10 and 11, with nearly 2 percent of the remainder on Linux and 1.5 percent on Mac — so we may be talking about fewer than 1 percent of users on these older Windows builds. Older versions of MacOS will also lose support on February 15th, just a month and a half from now. Correction: It's macOS 10.13 and 10.14 that are losing support. Not macOS period.

Didn't stop me from gaming on 7 either. I was only gaming on my windows partition so I didn't worry too much about vulns. Nothing in 8-11 interests me so I thought I'd try all my gaming in Linux and have been blown away by how good it is. I ran 7 up until last April and the cracks had finally started to show.

Congrats on joining Linux squad!

Linux gaming got waaaaay better than in before times. Also, the system itself is a miracle for someone coming from Windows. I remember that feeling. It's correct :)

Oh I'm very aware, I've been running Linux in one way or another for 20 years :)

Ah, great! Should be like at home then :)

I've never felt more at home! No separate machines, no dualbooting, my games run great :D
