I keep a Windows 7 machine for World of Warcraft. I will never update it. It is not even fully patched, to avoid the nagging patches. I update Defender, that's it. I don't run untrusted code so that isn't an issue. Some day I will have to get Win10 for a newer machine, but it will be LTSC. LTSC should be able to play games just fine and is what the default Windows 10 should have been, in my opinion. I will have to get a really beefy machine to compensate for the extra bloat in the Windows 10 kernel.
I am not at all impressed with how Microsoft handled Windows 10. One would assume that with all the telemetry, they would have a solid highly optimized OS by now. This is not the case. A family member has nothing but problems with Windows 10 + VR + games, etc... I have identical hardware and have none of their issues.
- xscott 6y agoBlizzard games, including WoW and Overwatch, run very well under Linux using Wine if you use Lutris to get the configuration right.
- LinuxBender 6y agoIts been quite a while since I tried playing WoW in wine. I've heard it has improved a lot. I will give it a shot at some point.
