Stop Killing Games, in short it's a campaign that's pushing petitions to force developers to keep games playable when currently if a developer is done with it they will just shut servers and there can be o way to play the games any more, or provide code for someone else to be able to set up a way for them to still be played.

Open source vs proprietary software

Reply in thread

I was exactly the same but moved over to linux about a year ago, it took a little bit of time to get used to but overall hasn't been a massive issue.

If there are additional packages you are used to running that will probably be the hardest part since you might have to find open source equivalents

I switched in October to Mint and have had very few issues with it. I'm not particularly experienced when it comes to programming and found it pretty straighforward.

I had one sound issue which was fixed in about half an hour with some googling, one with a set of flight pedals not working and a game that won't work with Windows users in multiplayer.

The only one causing me a real issue is the game one, it has taken me hours of searching with only partial fixes.

Overall I think the OS is great and the issues are small teething things, learning the small programing that it has required has made me feel more confident too since there is tons of documentation to help online.
