Still using Windows 10, but after testing out Linux on the side last year I’ve come to the conclusion it’s ready. Other than anti-cheat being in the shitter once Win 10 is officially dropped for good by games I’m moving over to Arch.
i gave up on R 6 long ago. but basically all other games are playable on linux. i become comfortable living by the moral code of ‘if the game doesnt play on linux it doesnt exist’
I’m aware. Just not the majority of them. Either way doesn’t personally matter to me as I mostly play single player games, to which Proton is incredible with that.
Windows decided to delete all my documents and files 2 weeks ago. Even though I removed them from one drive, windows put them all back in. So when their one drive failed. I lost everything. Like every icon on my desktop too. Thank god i had just backed up a couple weeks before so I didn’t lose much.
I was so pissed though that I immediately installed Linux Mint. Haven’t looked back.
It’s all fun and games until you find that one specific thing you can’t live without that requires Windows lol. Hence why I typically have a low profile Windows 10 LTSC virtual machine set up on my Linux machines.
I’m sure I’ll find something lol. Currently its still on that hard drive. But I pulled it out for now. I was angry and didn’t wanna look at windows anymore but knew I’d probably need it again lol.
Linux only needs to hit a “small but not insignificant size market” for the large publishers to start supporting it. They won’t support it if they lose money doing so, but if it continues to grow eventually they will lose money by not supporting it.
Steam machine should provide another bump, just like steam deck.

and with steam one can play even non-steam games that are “windows only” by adding non-steam game. Proton works for those too.
not for the ones with the stupider anti cheats

yea, though those games are not worth playing anyway. who knows what they do in the background, with root access they can hide it too.
I’ve been playing The Sims 2 that way lol
Some anti-cheat software can be run through Steam e.g. Easy anti-cheat.

Same but Windows 7.
It seems fastest, most stable windows was 2000 but lacked good 64bit support. Much defaulted to 32bit :(

I hope that steamOS causes this, I really hate booting into windows to play battlefield but it’s my only option if i want to play it
