Um Windows 11 zu nutzen, braucht Ihr PC viel Leistung und bestimmte Hardware-Voraussetzungen. Linux Lite ist ein alternatives und einsteigerfreundliches Betriebssystem, das auch auf älteren Rechnern flüssig läuft.

I have used Linux Lite in the past, and it could even run on a Pentium III Coppermine! And no issues whatsoever with peripheral drivers like PCI cards, mouse, USB ports, etc.

Still, although gaming is possible, you save a lot of headaches by keeping a Windows computer for that purpose, and maybe for some specialized software, too. For everyday computing I don't know about Mac, but modern Windows is full of annoyances that didn't exist on W7, it can change your mood on the best of days.

Allow me a rebuttal. As a Linux gamer I've actually had few if any issues gaming in Linux. Thanks to proton, mono, and other cross platform compatibility libraries as well as some big name studios like paradox releasing Linux versions of their games it's pretty rare I encounter a title I haven't been able to play.

It's even better than windows 11 for older games and wine doesn't seem to have the 16bit installer/application limitation for early to mid ,90s software that 64bit windows have.

For everything else, there's dosbox or sheepshaver.

Keep in mind, I've been running the latest Ubuntu on 2011 hardware, and I've been able to play cyberpunk 2077, fallout 4, Skyrim, timberborn and most aaa titles as they come out.

Infact the only title I struggled to run was the sims2. Sims3 works fine, sims 4, no problem. Sims1 works great thanks to the dgvoodoo compatibility library. Sims 2 runs in qemu via osx compatibility though so there are workarounds. I keep my windows XP/dos computer for stuff like this though, as the exceptions are usually from the mid 2000s

I recently upgraded to a Ryzen 9 7900 based system and only got even better performance to what was already decent.

I haven't booted my old windows drive in over a year and recently removed it entirely as unnecessary.
