The new 24H2 update for Microsoft's latest operating system [11] is leaving 8.63GB of space unavailable and there isn't a way to fix it yet.(www.pcgamesn.com)

With Windows 10 support ending in a matter of days, that leaves the latest Microsoft OS as the only real option for gamers right now

Windows 10 support ends in 2025. Linux is a very real option for the majority of games.

Given the idiocy in this article, I wouldn’t be surprised if it didn’t occur to them to delete Windows.old from an external software environment. Ultimately, that’s something you want to keep around for a while because it’s what lets you roll back the upgrade if there turns out to out to be problems.

Either that, or they expect to be releasing something stupid in the near future and are allocating the space for it early. ~8 gigs does sound suspiciously close to the size of an AI model.

Atleast, you get Recall, only the most invasive piece of spyware.

The second that VR support becomes passable on Linux I can dump my last Windows install. It’s amazing how such a terrible product still has a chokehold on the PC market pretty much out of momentum alone.

I’ll have to try again, the last time I tried was close to the Index Launch.

Every time I read something new about the new Windows. I’m really glad I’ve switched to Linux and figured how to set up, use and debug it already. With this knowledge I never want to go back. Even PC Gaming is no problem anymore with Proton, Lutris etc. The only thing I needed to watch out for was to get an AMD graphics card (NVIDIA is slowly getting there too hopefully), but I needed a new PC anyway so it was the perfect time

Nah, the Windows folder is larger than that. There’s an easy way to reclaim all that wasted space.
