Customers sticking to the good-old (and dead) Windows 7 now have one more reason to ditch the operating system: as of January 1, 2024, Steam no longer supports Windows 7, 8, and 8.1.

        Thanks to the Steam Deck and proton development, these days that’s pretty much limited to a few incompatible multiplayer anticheat systems. Gone are the days where a developer actually had to make a Linux build.

      That’s actually just what I did. New PC runs Manjaro Linux. So far all the games I’ve thrown at it work just fine.

      Maybe I should have done that with the old PC, but I’m lazy and Windows 7 was working well enough.
