Unfortunately some old tech does just start becoming obsolete at some point. sure you can force old software on to it but unless its designed to just interact on its own or with some other equipment thats stuck in time, it usually ends up not being worth the trouble or time, especially when you can get pretty powerful (comparison wise) equipment for cheap. chrome books for example are dirt ass cheap and some times a better solution than trying to get a super old system running again.
only potential issue I see trying to stress that 430watt psu with whatever that gpu is.
I was thinking of picking up FF 7 remake cuz.. idk, big sword look cool? also soul caliber 6 cuz its $8
uh, yeah probably just those I think. still dont know if I will commit to it cuz i already have such a back log.
I havent fully left. I'll probably still use it on my browser for some time while also visiting lemmy. It'll be dead to me on my phone though, boost was my window to reddit on mobile, removing that is a death sentence.
Imma be real.. Arch has been the most consistent system I've used to date.
I've been using linux off and on since like 2008. I jumped around from ubuntu, fedora, opensus, popOS, centOS, etc.. I've had manjaro and now arch as my daily driver for probably 4 or more years now and Arch updates have only ever broke one thing, one time, and it was more of a audio pipewire issue than it was really archs fault.
arch updates do not deserve this slander, its been very reliable for me, more than probably any system i've ever used.
Unfortunately, 100% parity will likely never happen, especially if people wont just use it regardless of less than perfect compatibility. Devs keep making games with functions that refuse to work on linux and/or refusing to support it or provided compatibility layers, and windows keeps breaking shit that old games rely on to work making linux compatibility with old titles better than windows.
just depends on what you're trying to playing. personally I almost never play any multiplayer games any more and I dont feel like im missing out on anything. i've been daily driving linux for a few years now and leaving my reliace on windows in the past has been very nice.
just comes down to your priority, I suppose. my priority is my system first, games seconds. If your system is games first, system second, then linux may not be for you yet.. but I would still recommend learning to use it, be familiar with it should the time come that microsoft does something that is an absolute deal breaker for you.
