I’m down to one Windows machine and the death of Windows 10 will be the death of Windows for me. I’m holding out just for the games that just won’t work under Linux and some other proprietary software like Blu-Ray playback. What a run. I’ll be glad to see it go.
Oh, I have like 4 other computers with Linux. This one is just there until support for 10 ends. Then I’ll let go of those last few things and deal with it when that bridge comes. I’ve been on track to ditching it entirely for a couple years now in preparation for this exact case.
You can use MakeMKV to rip your blurays on Linux. Normal blurays are easy to rip, 4K needs an old drive with custom firmware. It’s free while it’s in beta, but you will have to get a new license key every month.
I actually paid for this and use it on windows all the time. I generally don’t rip my Blu-Rays just because I have so many and not enough HDD space for it. The only reliable way I’ve found to play them in real-time has been MakeMKV + MPC-HC.
For real this time, guys! Linux is going to displace Windows this year. This is the straw that’s gonna cause a mass migration to the command line, trust me bro
I have to actively tell my grandfather who wanted to switch to Fedora to stop trying to use the command line lol, it’s easier to remember the GUI. CLI isn’t some big looming threat like it was in the 2010’s.
The year of Linux desktop?

Chances are you will be on Windows indefinitely then. Getting of Windows takes a bit of a lifestyle change.

You could also just install Windows 11. In reality there isn’t that much difference.
Haha no thanks

Doubt it. It’s not like Windows 10 is going to stop working or something.
Yea a lot of Win users will join our forces
To be perfectly honest, I actually prefer sitting at the fringes of demographics. Keeps my engineering skills sharp.
