I'm hesitant to leave 10 because there are a few games I play that don't support Linux, and I like em too much to quit if 10 still works. However, once support officially ends forreal, I will say goodbye to those games o7 11 will never touch my outers.
At work tho they had to upgrade to 11 in the office, and since it's retail the office isn't really that important but 11 is so poorly designed the computers barely run anymore
I'm also curious what games you're talking about. Most work even without official support. The games that don't are multiplayer where the AC specifically blocks Linux, which are basically just EA games and Chinese games.
One interesting thing I've found is that legacy windows support is better on Linux through WINE/Proton than on Windows. Old games are more likely to be runnable on Linux than Windows.
Which games, out of curiosity?
Have you tried using Proton to run them? It's super easy to set up through Steam if you have the exes.
