If you value security to a high degree you probably shouldn't be using Windows. permalink fedilink source parent [β] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works -2 points 3 years ago (2 children) Well, security doesn't matter for a media device like that. The exposure is so minimal that it might as well not exist. Hell, considering I really only use it to pirate shit maybe once a month nowadays, my main desktop PC isn't even on enough to matter; I could keep any old OS on it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] Insanelysick@lemmy.world 5 points 3 years ago (1 child) If it is connected to your router itβs a point of ingress. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] Fed@lemdro.id -5 points 3 years ago (1 child) The risk of getting a attack via the router is very low these days permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] ech0@lemdro.id 5 points 3 years ago Lol!

Yes, there are native Linux games on Steam and there's also Proton and WINE, but it's not a 100% solution. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [β] Earthwormjim91@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago Why would it support a 14 year old OS whose final release was 12 years ago and mainstream support ended 8 years ago? permalink fedilink source parent [β] southsamurai@sh.itjust.works 0 points 3 years ago Well, I was hyped for Baldur's gate 3, and I may still end up getting it, but I'd have to upgrade too much hardware to play it, and there's really no other games that I'm interested in. Musicbee is the main reason I'm still running 7 on that pc rather than some flavor of linux. If it ever gets a port, or actually starts working right via wine, bye bye windows for me. permalink fedilink source parent
