		RUG3Y on July 21, 2016 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Ask: Has Microsoft spent your trust I tried out Windows 10. I lasted 5 days, I think. I signed in to a Microsoft account, and the password on my PC was changed without my permission. That password was only saved in Lastpass. It's 16 digits of random characters. I eventually accessed my computer and immediately reverted to Windows 7. I still haven't switched to Windows 10 on my home PC. I won't use Windows for anything work related but I need it for gaming. The day Linux is good enough for gaming, I'll say goodbye to Microsoft forever.

if that's all that's keeping you from linux, install Windows in KVM/Qemu and use GPU passthrough for graphics. full-speed gaming in a linux-owned sandbox will change your life.

I'll have to look into that setup. Thanks.
