EDIT: I’m picking up on some big time virgin energy from all the people in this thread who think girlsmell is a fetish. Girls smell. If you didn’t know that, it’s clear the only women you’ve ever been with were 2D.

PS: If you prefer boysmell that is also very valid, and if you don’t like stinky partners at all I want you to know I stand with the ace community and I’m only meaning to make fun of allos.

    I remember it so clearly man… The morning of October 15 2025, a Wednesday as I recall. People were warned but they didn’t listen. They don’t ever listen.

    I’ll never forget the screaming. Millions of Windows 10 computers just spontaneously exploding all over the place. Women, children and men with beards running down the streets of every city just trying to avoid the thousands of computers being thrown from the tops of buildings. The world was never the same after that. I found an abandoned bus in the chaos so I tried to save as many people as I could. We rode into the night towards the hills. Away from the cities and the looting and chaos.

    Or you know… it just means no updates and we’ll all probably be fine.

      Dude, I would be hesitant to use an OS more than a month after EOL. I hope you realize that your OS no longer receiving security updates is a really, really, really bad thing. People staying on Win10 instead of upgrading to Linux or macOS or downgrading to Win11 is going to be zero day heaven.

        I remember even TheTechnician27 tried to warn us “it’s going to be zero day heaven!” they said but everyone just shrugged and now here I am with my fellow refugees in the woods trying to catch some squirrels for my dinner.

    Oh the times a-coming, but as I only really use my PC for gaming now, I’m holding out for a SteamOS distro.

      you don’t have to wait, games run fine in most distros and the ones that don’t are probably because of anti cheat which won’t be solved with steamOS.

        Yeah, I keep my Windows PC purely for League of Legends due to their anti cheat (read rootkit) and it’s a pre-2017 chip, so it’s not Win 11 eligible (which I’ve always counted my blessings for). And also the Spotify web page doesn’t work well for me on Linux. Other than that, I do pretty much everything on my newer Linux machine.

          yeah, part of me is happy these abusive rootkits disguised as anti-cheats “don’t work” on Linux. We customers shouldn’t be putting up with that crap.

      Same here. The minute I can be confident than my steam collection will run on Linux, I’m switching over.

          I’m not in a position to experiment, but I’m following the lead of a friend who is in such a position, and is far more technical than I am.

          I’ll ask him about proton. Appreciate the recommend.

            Yeah SteamOS is nothing special. Any of the big distros can give you a similarly solid gaming experience these days.

        There was a comment thread in one of the Linux communities a while back talking about this mindset. Obviously the comments got a bit rude and unconstructive, but the point is that you can switch to something like bazzite now and most things will work pretty well, but if you’re holding out until it’s perfect then you’ll be waiting forever!

      I’ve tried before, that sounds horrible, why are you doing that to yourself.

      I’ve worked at not small companies who still thought that was too much work to mess with.

        Largely because half the services I host are tied to a Univention DC, and so are the current Windows client machines, I’d like to maintain that state.

        I know Ubuntu has an AD option when you set it up, but it doesn’t seem to work with any of the ‘AD compatible’ replacements I’ve tried.

      Can confirm Bazzite is just fine with domain auth, no special intervention required.

      Authing against a Synology NAS domain which is presumably running Samba under the hood.

        Sweet, will have to take a further look at that. Had set it up to check the state of Nix games and it seems to be pretty decent (last I really looked was when StarCraft was still a big thing). Didn’t see anything in the settings about ldap/ad auth in my messing about though.

          It’s just the usual sssd setup, and even without manual futzing with config files.

      Ubuntu has official Microsoft AD support and allows domain joining during setup. There are downsides to Ubuntu as well, though, so if that’s not an acceptable answer just know support exists and can likely be ported to anything with some effort.

        Yeah, but I try and keep as little MS as possible, so my DC is a Linux system, which works fine for LDAP and MS systems joining, but somewhat ironically I’ve yet to be able to get a Linux system joined to it. They actually have a helper app even outside of sssd but it seems to be poorly maintained. Was trying Bazzite again today based on another comment but no luck so far.

    As an engineer who’s worked exclusively with Linux for 25 years this meme makes me want to buy a windows license.
