Question. Can't you get around all this shit just getting win pro?
I still hate to give any $ to microshit, but if anyone wants to use popular software or play new games they need windows.
I exclusively use Linux. In fact I don't even own a computer that Windows would install on, at least not without hacks or workarounds.
I also play a lot of games. In my experience only the trashiest of the trash games don't work on Linux. Developers have to go out of their way and do extra work to make a game not run on Linux these days. I will happily play an indie alternative of whatever trashy enshittification-sponsored game won't run on Linux in the increasingly rare situation where I encounter one.
People posting stuff like this either aren't really trying or are pushing an agenda of some kind. Remember how random users you had nothing to do with would insult and fight with you on reddit any time you say anything good about marijuana but on lemmy no one really does that? This type of thing smells like that. I'm just saying.
Im sorry but many popular games wont run well on linux.
Maybe you only play single player ??
-Any battlefield game
-Valorant
-Fortnite
-Gtav online, likely gta6 will also not work.
-pubg
These are huge among young gamers.
And good for you! I only use windows at work where I have to. And I just yell my friends i wont install shitty kernel anti cheat games. But they will play them without us anyway, so really we lose.

Why do corporations think so much about the OS? I always pick one that works well with my applications because I spend 99% of my computer time in the apps.
Edit- by OS, I meant UI
Just got done switching to Bazzite and couldn't be more satisfied. Super similar to Steam Deck. Almost everything on the gaming rig worked right away.
Thanks for convincing me to get a Mac! I love it so far!!
Mac does things differently....you like a windows manager? like to make your apps fullscreen and switch desktops? use alt+tab a lot? don't get Mac.
install Linux instead.
