    What specifically do you still need Windows for? It’s possible that you can get it all running under Proton.

        Yeah, we’re not fond of giving ring 0 to BigShittyGameCo.

            You’re getting downvoted by people, but your position is totally valid.

            “Linux works perfectly for everything if you just don’t do the thing you want to do” is a less than compelling argument.

              Not everyone considers granting kernel level access to untrustworthy entities a feature.

                And to be fair I could not even get Valorant running on windows. I am guessing become of something like ShutUp10 or whatever it’s called. I did not bother with figuring it out. I’m on linux for a while now.

                I was reading the thread thinking “well, it is a good argument” but kernel level access? no thanks.

      Ironically, Windows has the largest FOSS catalog of any OS, apart from soft proprietary of course. Also, many official and professional business apps are only available for Windows. Gaming can also be a reason to use Windows, although this is slowly changing.
