Yeah, this blows. As I have stated in other threads, my last full desktop build was in 2014/2015.
Now Microsoft is forcing an artificial deadline on me, as I cannot upgrade my non-TPM hardware to Windows 11 (Win 11 sucks ass anyway). So my choices are to run Win10 past EOL on my old rig, install a Linux distro to extend the life of the old rig, or build new. Frankly I’m kinda done with Microsofts bullshit.
I would like to do a new desktop build but cannot justify $4-5K for a commensurate bump in specs.
I guess I could try to slum it with a Intel Arc Battlemage build, but I’m not sure about the Linux driver support.
