    I prefer to face linux adversities that teach me more about computer than facing Windows one who are about advertising, tracking and enshitiffication

      Good point, but learning requires excessive free time. I’m working or sleeping and on the days that I don’t work I just want to play my games, eat ice cream and not have to re-learn how to use a computer

      What do you learn about computers when you can’t play multiplayer games with your friends because you cant run the anticheat?

          When PCs are as closed environment as consoles they’ll drop anti cheat, so never. It doesn’t matter if I want the anticheat or not, if I want to game socially with my friends that play mmos, fighters, and cod, Linux becomes difficult.

        I play CS2 without problem. Same with BG3, DOS2, Borderlands, Gunfire Reborn and more. Most works out of the boxes and when I have to tinker it is mostly configuration inside Steam.

          I have over 1k hours on lost ark and that one is a linux non starter. Lots on MSFS too which can be annoying or you can get lucky. My friend also jump to new and beta MMOs all the time to check them out, most of them are not even compatible let alone out of the box. Genshin and HSR can work but they used to not because you’re flagged the same way cheaters are(these days the client is more chill but your still flagged and can be false positive banned), so Im not gonna risk a ban on a three year old gacha account when few of my other games work. Cod too, even if I jump on one that works on linux I got about one year before I gotta wonder if the next one will be.

          And any fighting game players will tell you what a hot bed of discovery a new FG is. Im not gonna spend my first week using my limited tech skill to see if I can find a workaround on anticheat while all the other players get to simply play the game with eachother.

          Sure linux gaming came a long way but im not gonna go get a new friend group so I dont have to run windows, and I’m not gonna run linux when half my games are gonna need windows anyway. Despite its best efforts Linux gaming still isn’t for everyone.

              So are cell phones, but they keep us connected to things we otherwise wouldn’t be. That’s what my games do with my friends that I hardly have time to see outside the Internet. Im not gonna whine over anticheat alone in my room and ask if we can play something else, im gonna join up with my firends so I can socialize with them.
