    Linux isn’t a solution if you play competitive multiplayer games, which most people do.

    Edit: keep being classy basement trolls, you’re only proving my statements about the shittiness of the linux community with every downvote.

      What??? Do you have a statistic on this like does most of the population of earth play call of street fortnite 20 or whatever “competitively”?

        I think you are confusing “professionally” and “competitively”. Anyone playing to win is being competitive.

      I’m upvoting you because I know what you’re trying to say. Personally I don’t have a lot of time to game anymore but I vote with my wallet and I try to only buy games on steam that are linux native. I have found a lot of great indy games this way and I don’t feel like I’m “missing out”. Still, I get it.

      Fair, but also depends on which one’s.
      ~40-45% of them do actually work.

      there are 3 billion people playing videogames, most of them playing casual af shit like candy crush (https://explodingtopics.com/blog/number-of-gamers).

      About “competitive” multiplayer games: have you tried proton? I myself was sticking with Windows untill i eventually tried it.

      Linux is not a solution if you have a skill issue. The longer people have this kind of mindset you have, the longer Microsoft will pretend to be a monopolist, the longer they will behave like total shitheads towards their customers.

        Is proton also a work around for easy anti-cheat now?

      “most people” = “most teens”. I don’t know any adult that plays competitive multiplayer games other than maybe CSGO.

      Care to cite sources for that? Haven’t seen people playing “competitive multiplayer games” from most people in a while, now.

      Lol yeah “most people” definitely do not play competitive multiplayer games. Are the other children in your friend group literally the only other humans you’ve ever met?
