I'm in a bit of a bind with my setup. My PC can't run Windows 11, and Linux doesn't support some of the games I'm interested in. I'm wondering if I can still get a decent gaming experience without switching to either of those operating systems. If I'm okay with a watermark on my screen, is that sufficient for gaming?

Hey, you don't have to panic about Windows 10 going unsupported! A lot of users are in the same boat, and if everything is running well for you right now, then you're probably fine. Just make sure to have your anti-virus and firewall set up, and use multi-factor authentication for your accounts—stay safe without stressing too much!
You can also consider paying a small fee for an additional year of Windows 10 support, though it's likely Microsoft will still patch serious issues even for non-paying users. About that watermark, I assume you're talking about the ‘Your copy of Windows is not genuine’ message—it can be annoying but it's just a reminder to buy a key if you want a clean install without the hassle. Also, if you're feeling adventurous, there are workarounds to force Windows 11 onto your device, but it comes with risks. Just be careful with any updates that could cause issues later!
Yeah, just be mindful of that watermark! It's basically Microsoft reminding you they need their cash flow. Just weigh the pros and cons before you decide to go that route.
