"I would like to switch to Linux, but it's just not good for gaming"

(The "Windows" slices of the pies are entirely made up by Baldur's Gate 3, which also runs well over Linux)
The issue is they want to run rootkits and malware instead of games.
Not sorry. Siege, Fortnite, Valorant, all of these games require kernel level access to Windows to run, and the publishers refuse to support Windows.
The only reason I'd ever play games like this in the past is due to peer pressure from friends to play these shitty games together with a bunch of sweats, cheaters and an overall generally toxic community. Especially Siege.
Social peer pressure goes both ways. And I've basically peaced out on any of these games in my friends group. That was enough to end that game for game nights, and as those games fade from our memory. I make sure what little memory of it remains is the true tainted and awful form from which they originated.
If you need a kernel level anti-cheat for your game, and nothing else will protect it. Your game is shit, your development cycle is shit, your company is shit, your community is shit, and why would I ever want to play a shit game with shit people from a shit company that forces devs to work under a shit development cycle?
That is not, in fact, the issue. I don't play any of those games and still can't play all my games on Linux. I don't allow kernel level anticheats on my system.
Fortnite uses EAC that already run on Linux.
You're actually the worst. I'm glad you don't play my games.
