Reminder that Microsoft is trying to shift Windows to be entirely cloud based, so this can easily happen overnight without your consent. You don't own your OS. Linux is the only way, unless you're one of those strange BSD folks.

I do all my gaming in Linux. Yeah there's some games i really wanted to play that don't work in Linux, but there are so many games i can't hope to play them all anyway.

Ik this is sarcastic but the video games issue is real regardless of Proton and its derivatives on Linux. Windows really is the best way to game right now

I feel that this very much depnd on which games you're playing. Competitive or Roblox, Windows is the better choice. Majority of the games I play though works without any issues on Linux.

I've heard that some games even are faster on Linux even when running proton buy it isn't anything I've myself has investigated.

Gaming is one of my main intrests and I've been playing on Linux for at least ten years. It's not for everyone I guess.

I play Apex Legends ranked. It runs better on pop os than win11 on my PC.

Yeah, I built a new PC at the beginning of the pandemic and went Linux. I don't even not windows and play all my games on there.

It's great that it works for what you play, but it doesn't for me. Hopefully the steamdeck train continues to pick up steam, because it's pretty much the only reason Linux gaming is gaining ground.

Because Windows is known to be malicious spyware, and you should consider not tolerating it any longer.

Microsoft can't be bothered to make a single, unified control panel but they have resources to work on shit like this.

I consider using windows as self-harm. It is a decision you make. I choose not to harm myself in this way, so this does not concern me.
