    I’ve been forced to install Windows 10 on my brand new build because it doesn’t support W7.

    But Steam is also dropping W7 support by the end of this year anyway. Yes, there are native Linux games on Steam and there’s also Proton and WINE, but it’s not a 100% solution.

      Why would it support a 14 year old OS whose final release was 12 years ago and mainstream support ended 8 years ago?

      Well, I was hyped for Baldur’s gate 3, and I may still end up getting it, but I’d have to upgrade too much hardware to play it, and there’s really no other games that I’m interested in.

      Musicbee is the main reason I’m still running 7 on that pc rather than some flavor of linux. If it ever gets a port, or actually starts working right via wine, bye bye windows for me.

        MusicBee is excellent, but I gave up on it to switch to Linux. Also, I’ve started to fall in love with simple players which depend on folder structure rather than a database, although I suppose one might miss the customisation with MusicBee
