    Who even plays games that don’t run well on Linux/proton these days?

    You don’t need to be a nerd. Just need to watch a vid or follow ubiquitous guide on how to partition a disk or install second disk. Installing and running Linux is easier than windows these days with most common distros.

    The learning curve is easier than the one for each windows update too. At least for plasma, i would assume gnome too.

    Still, some enterprise class software only running on windows is a reasonable excuse(for the user). Also not everyone has the drive space or can afford extra hardware. Obligatory privilege check ig.

      Unfortunately, a sizable amount of multiplayer games. And if you play with friends, that can be an issue.

      Thankfully I don’t play any games with problematic anti-cheat, because I have no friends 🧠

        Modded games too.

        Linux is getting there, but it’s really only great for single player games now. That’s what I use it for

      I play games that don’t play well with Linux. Sims 1 & 2 are just straight up broken.

      So my Linux PC is actually my WinXP retro gaming PC but Linux is dualbooted for when I want to do more modern stuff on it.
