    Reminder that Microsoft is trying to shift Windows to be entirely cloud based, so this can easily happen overnight without your consent. You don’t own your OS. Linux is the only way, unless you’re one of those strange BSD folks.

        Ik this is sarcastic but the video games issue is real regardless of Proton and its derivatives on Linux. Windows really is the best way to game right now

          I feel that this very much depnd on which games you’re playing. Competitive or Roblox, Windows is the better choice. Majority of the games I play though works without any issues on Linux.

          I’ve heard that some games even are faster on Linux even when running proton buy it isn’t anything I’ve myself has investigated.

          Gaming is one of my main intrests and I’ve been playing on Linux for at least ten years. It’s not for everyone I guess.

            It’s great that it works for what you play, but it doesn’t for me. Hopefully the steamdeck train continues to pick up steam, because it’s pretty much the only reason Linux gaming is gaining ground.

    Yes, Microsoft exerting this sort of control over their operating system does deeply concern me which is why i switched to Linux and you should too

      It is because of rumors about Windows starting to implement this type of measures that I moved to Ubuntu… That was shortly before Windows Vista came out, back in 2006.
      I never went back again, except briefly on an air-gaped machine under 7 to play Skyrim and Grim Dawn.

        In other words, you switched out of fear of restrictions that still haven’t manifested nearly two decades later
