All of 2023, Steam kept popping up dire warnings about how Steam support for Windows 8.1 was ending on Jan 1, and I'd have to move to another OS to keep using it.
So I moved to another OS (linux)
Just rebooted into the old Win8 partition to get something from it. What's the first thing I see? Steam is installing updates.
Someone at Valve lied to me.
