The barrier to entry is pretty low anymore for Linux. There's some really helpful communities here as well. I've ran various versions as secondary OS'es since the early 00's and can pretty confidentially say, its never been easier.
PopOS, Mint and even Ubuntu are super easy to get up and running and Proton makes gaming a breeze like never before.
You've got around 9 months left on Win10 supportability. Then it will move in to LTS channels only. It was incredibly well adopted so we have to believe any open vulnerabilities will be targeted quickly and relentlessly. Sadly, we will be in a 11 only world by this time next year.
I had a friend say (nearly 25 years ago) that homelessness is a necessity of capitalism. There will always be a portion of the population kept in that position so the rest of us wage slaves have something to motivate us to keep eating shit from our ruling class.
If we were shown a path to safety and security without sacrificing our bodies and minds to a paycheck, we just might rebel.
I'll bite the potential bait. What did you mean then?
I ask as a straight white dude that generally creates female characters in game and truly enjoy seeing how the game world reacts to the character (if it does) and find it enjoyable to experience challenges outside of those that generally color my world view.
It's cool to be Geralt or Male Shepard but I've seen, read and played that story quite a few times. For my personal enjoyment I'd like to live in a world (especially another CDPR one, doubly so for the Witcher universe) as a female character. It opens up a shit ton of new dialog possibilities and quest choices.
Having played through Cyberpunk multiple times as both male and female V, there's skme truly unique things that they do that are only possible by leveraging the PC's gender when interacting with the world.
Thought this was aneurysm shitposting for a second there.
