Yep, there's a push to drop 32bit OS support across the board, even in open-source/Linux.
Some things are breaking on Win7 64bit even.
You know you could probably switch to Linux, most games are playable now if you even play any games.

Win 7 64 bit here
No.19245
I understand why some people didn't jump to a 64 bit OS right away, especially if they had less than 3 jiggas ram, not much point for the typical end user.
But, umm, you really should've upgraded to 64 bit by now…

i've been a windowsfag all my life but been trying to make the switch to xubuntu for like 2 weeks now
from my steam list, 2 linux-native games installed and played perfectly fine (dota 2 and everspace)
but by chance, the first game i've tried to get running using proton / wine is badly supported
probably needs some manual fixing to get going, or i drop it entirely and just chalk it up to bad luck hehe
https://www.protondb.com/app/418460not to be a bitch about this or anything, if this extra work were required on windows i'd be doing it too
it's just that the extra bit of fixing and searching tutorials is way more common with the linux i'm using currently

>>19323>probably needs some manual fixing to get going, or i drop it entirely and just chalk it up to bad luck heheIt uses EAC (anti cheat). This is pretty much the most common anti-cheat, and it simply doesn't work on Wine, there's no workaround, there's nothing you can do (unless you're a computer scientist).
Luckily, Guy1524 has actually been working on EAC support for the past month or so, and said he made significant progress. This is the guy who has implemented raw input support, and the first person to ever get Media Foundation support (video playback) working in Wine games.
https://github.com/Guy1524/wineAnti-cheat is the single biggest problem left for Wine gaming.

I get why people hated Windows 10 when it first came out, but didn't Microsoft fix everything that was wrong with it? Why do people still hate it?

Windows 10 is backdoored and has a rootkit
Want proof there's a rootkit? Microsoft can remotely install and run any software they want and you can't disable or stop this.

>>19372since the installgentoo wiki was already linked here before, this is what i use to ease my mind:
https://wiki.installgentoo.com/wiki/List_of_recommended_Windows_softwarego read the red section up top and run the ancile script thing they refer to.
if you kept up with windows updates, it is gonna throw its update bubble prompt thing again after that
so what i figure the script does, is uninstalling certain "unwanted" updates.
