    Do you play niche or weird games? Most games I play work as well if not better than windows compared to my gaming friends. The only problems I’ve had on Linux were because I decided to fuck around with the OS while doing some niche programming shit.

    I interact with windows enough (since everyone comes to me for their tech problems) and I don’t see a reason that Windows needs to still exist. Ads everywhere, cancerous data collection practices, crappy products that lag or glitch. Its a mess and I hate every time I have to use it any more. Nowhere near the same feature richness of linux, costs money, and they are constantly making poor anticonsumer decisions.

      I do play a lot of niche games I guess you could call them. Some of my favorite games that I have hundreds or even thousands of hours in don’t have but a few hundred players world wide.

      The thing is I want the confidence to know that I can buy any game and it will just work. My mods just work. It’s the ease of use I can get with windows I can’t get with Linux.

      I am no fan of Microsoft and I love supporting things like Linux but like most people I just want my shit to work when I get home. I have so little free time I don’t want to spend it learning the ins and outs of Linux.
