Or maybe they will launch Win 12 with optional TPM support.

Imho making the OS(es) TPM only cannot be good for their business, many people are still on Win 10 with no intention to switch, since their motheboard does not support TPM and do not want to upgrade PC / waste PCI-E slot on TPM extension.

    For sure, but these days the main offenders are online multiplayer games with restrictive anti-cheats.

    I would go so far as to say if those specific types of games are not your thing you aren’t likely to experience any issues gaming on Linux.

    I’m sure there are exceptions, but every time I think “oh this game for sure won’t work” I have eaten my words.

    And it’s like a night and day difference from the last time I tried to do this about a year and a half ago. The progress I’ve seen is almost more impressive than the performance gains. 🤷

        Yeah I mean if the game you want to play doesn’t work then maybe Linux isn’t for you, at least not at this time.

        Not saying you have to switch.

        Just that my personal experience with it has been very good, better than I expected, and way better than my previous experience not long ago.

        As others have mentioned, you can check the status of your preferred games on websites like ProtonDB beforehand, you don’t have to format your Windows drive and install Linux before finding out if your games will work.

        There’s websites where you can check if a game can be played on Linux. For me personally I know a game I play a fair bit won’t work on linux for a fact, and most of the stuff I need I can get to work on Windows just fine.
