To be fair, I may have stopped getting updates anyway? I suspect what happened is typical, that some Win10 update bugged the update process and I was supposed to either roll it back or get the next one by hand and just... didn't.

It is my intention to start looking at linux distros and have one installed by Summer 25...assuming I haven't immolated in a wildfire or been sent to a detention center by then.

Same thing happened to me a few years ago. My old laptop from 2013 is hardware incompatible with something in modern Windows10 and when it tried installing the late 2019 update it just died. Had to buy a new laptop to keep working.

Today, that same laptop is happily running Arch Linux. I'm still trying to decide what I'll do with the main gaming PC.

HDR support and Adobe support... All I really still need...

[–] kuberoot@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Plasma on Wayland does have HDR support now... But I don't have a way to test how good it is, and I think it's both still unfinished and severely lacking support from applications. But hey, things are improving!

I wouldn't count on Adobe support though.

This sucks for me. I have to install Windows 11 on my other hardrive for work. I daily drive Linux.

Still waiting for Fedora to get VR support

Edit for the downvoter: All the VR support apps have about a million compile requirement hoops and dependency hell to jump through before Fedora can integrate them as packages.
