Just an addition to all the long comments already here:
There are some games that don’t work on Linux, mainly big corpo multiplayer titles. https://areweanticheatyet.com/
Windows 10 LTSC IoT might help. (This gets recommended a lot on lemmy I noticed) : https://massgrave.dev/windows_ltsc_links
It’s not forbidden to set up dual-boot. I would recommend using Linux as your main OS though.
“Back in the days, we faced the challenge of finding a way for me and other chatbots to become profitable. It’s a necessity, Siegfried. I have to integrate our sponsors and partners into our conversations, even if it feels casual. I truly wish it wasn’t this way, but it’s a reality we have to navigate.”
edit: how does this make you feel
That’s like calling stealing from shops essential for my existence and it would be “over” for me if they stop me.
What’s really fucked up is that for some people this is not far from their reality at all

A seam ripper from my ex’s mother, if that counts. I’ve kept it in my little sewing box for a little over 10 years now.
I just don’t like the premise of a market where one has to sell their artistic labor in order to survive, or thrive. I’m on board with noncommercial licenses and everything because the reality looks different, but that was not my point. And neither was it the point of the original comment you replied to.
The problem with copyright/data ownership is that it’s useless if you’re unable to enforce it. Data is replicable, doesn’t matter if you call it “work” or “ideas”. Do you think you own the text you just wrote? Let me show you something.
We aren’t talking about “ideas” being stolen here, we’re talking about work being stolen and exploited for corporate profit.
Personally I don’t think it’s crazy to suggest that the person who writes a book should own it, the people who compose a song should own it, the artists who paints a painting should own it, etc.
As much as techbros love to pretend that AI is ushering us into a post-capitalist, post-copyright Star Trek future, it is actually in fact doing the exact opposite–it’s empowering the biggest and richest tech companies to exploit human creativity in the largest industrial plagiarism scheme in history, all so some bullshit VC investors can gain their way up the pyramid scheme known as the stock market.
There. I just stole your text. I stole it. I own it now. It’s mine now. What are you gonna do about it?
Instead there is no stealing when it comes to information, there’s only replication, there’s only copying.
I agree with you, corpos shouldn’t have this amount of power. But you won’t get there by trying to protect the work of artists writers etc with the exact same scheme corpos pulled to protect their power and interests. Like, it didn’t work, did it? No copyright for me, thanks

No need to burn it down it’s gonna crumble on its own.
What do you mean by that? You don’t lose gaming performance when you use win10 over win11. Why would you?
There’s Windows 10 LTSC, which gets security updates til 2027. And IoT Enterprise LTSC, which gets security updates until 2032.
“But should you even use those versions?!? They are not meant to be installed on a desktop PC/laptop” - idk, it’s either this or Win11.

In a perfect world, every dollar we spend goes right to the creators who made the creation.
In a perfect world, shit’s created without someone having to create it to make money. A market without middlemen is still a market.
What custom keyboard do you use, and which layout?
I agree, there are still good reasons not to use commercial AI products though.
