    Yep. Gaming is starting to work on Linux, so I will move to Linux once Microsoft cancels 10.

    11 has nothing more than more telemetry and tracking going for it. Gaming is slower, so why would I upgrade for a worse experience.

    I play old games still anyways. Linux is more secure than Windows 11 anyways. I won’t upgrade to 11, and turned off TPM in BIOS so 11 won’t automatically install.

          Most anticheat software actually runs on Linux! Even the previously stubborn EasyAntiCheat got its Linux-compatible version.

        Most modern games can work. But this is a dev issue, not a “wait until it works on linux” issue

        EAC, and BattleEye both work on Linux, all the dev has to do is tick a “Proton Compatible” checkbox. Which many publishers/devs, namely Epic, don’t do because they hate linux with a red hot passion for some unknown reason.

        What I meant was that it is starting to get simple to play games using Linux now.

        I’m not a teenager anymore who enjoys getting games to work by editing settings outside of games like during the Win 3.11 and MS-DOS days.

        After decades working IT jobs I don’t want to do work when I’m trying to relax. Linus will have a nearly seamless system when Win 10 reaches EOL.

          Oh yes, another “No, I refuse to check the box” devs/publishers. Literally the company that made BattleEye compatible with Proton won’t enable the damn thing on their most popular game. There just needs to be a big enough outcry. Which as 10 hits EOL and the SteamDeck continues to sell, the Linux userbase will grow.
