    I mean, I tried for about a week…

    Got a larger SSD and I wanted to reinstalled Windows, so I went through the whole getting Win11 thing, and it wouldn’t let me install it. Although I have a full blown paid for Home Edition Win 10 linked to my microsoft account.

    It said I had to install Win 10 first, so I did… AFter all that, I went into windows update like is said, looked for the Win 11 update option… Doesn’t exist…

    My AMD 5800X and everything else on my PC supports Win 11. It’s just not giving me the option.

    So I gave up…

    I’ll likely use Win10 until SteamOS is released…

      They recently made changes so that you can’t easily upgrade anymore. I think you still can if you find the right hoops to jump through but this exact issue came up recently

      I use Linux mint. Steam works great. The desktop works great. Like 5 min a month checking on updates and backups.

          So is pretty much any Linux distro. Don’t pick a distro because it says “gaming,” they’re all extremely similar. Pick a distro because it looks nice and you can get help when you need it.
