No good for gamers, as Steam is ending Windows 7 support next year.

Yeah, my PC runs on 7 and I've refused to upgrade because I'm used to the UI and I don't want to have to re-learn everything for 10; but the notion of being locked out of all the games I have on Steam bothers me. Are the growing pains from 7 to 10 bad, or is it manageable?

10 is 'fine' for a vidya box, just remove as much bloat as possible and install Classic Shell. Might also have to regedit to stop windows from constantly pushing win 11, but seems only certain win10 installs do this.

Thanks, but I think I might actually have to take the leap and just upgrade my hardware so I can play Star Citizen; it seems to actually be developing into something.

I am thinking of going with Debian or Ubuntu, Steam supports those operating systems. When is SteamOS coming out?

I just said this elsewhere -- go with Mint Cinnamon. The interface design is roughly similar to Windows, so it's very approachable to Windows users.

Looks good, and reminds me of <a href="https://ubuntucinnamon.org/">Linux Ubuntu Cinnamon</a>.
