Debian

>>717968324 (OP)
I want to fully switch to linux but I don't know how good it is to use VMs to play windows-only games and I don't want to bloat my installation testing it out

Debian.

Windows 11 because I'm not a racist.

Brainlet here, but how do you even install windows if most PCs don't have cd-drives anymore?

I've been trying to work on backward compatibility for my games (I don't believe some small 2D sprite game should be limited by software) and holy fucking shit, the amount of time a dependency is OS locked for no reason (they're not using the features from the newer OS) is astonishingly common.
Microsoft "muh security" retardation really did a number on people.

>>717969720
You buy a hard drive with windows and plug it in.

>>717969720
just buy one of those usb cd drives

>>717969720
You summon it by sacrificing 12 virgins and then bind it to your machine using salt.

Nobara KDE for me since I'm a brainlet and needed a distro with gaymin related packages preinstalled

>>717970027
IIRC microsoft loves to force newest windows as default in visual studio, even if it's not required, so the developer has to be aware of it jump through hoops to target earlier windows. In XP to 7 migration days, I remember all it took to make some games locked to 7 to run on XP was hex editing the minimal required system version in .exe header, it worked flawlessly afterwards.

You offer your underage daughter to Bill Gates, and he gives upon thee a new PC.

Has to be troll post but with a pendrive. You can also have an external disc reader.

>all the software you want to run requires TPM to run
See you soon, chud.

>>717969720
You DO have a floppy disk drive, right?

>>717968324 (OP)
Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC. Works great.

>>717969508
You don't need VMs to play games, just use Proton. If you can't run it through Proton or some other emulator, then a VM won't work anyways.

>>717968324 (OP)
Arch
>>717970403
