Microsoft says that systems running Windows 11 22H2 will continue to receive non-security preview updates after initially stating they would no longer receive them after February 2024.
Are you going to claim that you play 400 games, let alone 1000? Besides, you can always use windows in a VM and do GPU pass-through. But i guess the convenience of windows is hard to give
Only time will tell when people will get fed up of taken for a ride by corporations.
Source? I game a lot on Linux and have only ever found two games which I couldn’t play on Linux. Genshin and valorant which have incompatible anti-cheats.
That’s not to say that most games which have anticheats don’t work. A lot of them I’ve tried do work like helldivers 2, ow2, titanfall 2.
Then this discussion doesn’t apply to those people. I don’t like the argument that Linux isn’t ready for mainstream yet but the reasons quoted are often some game that is itself a niche.
Edit: this is why I specifically said 90% use cases in my previous comment.
Linux is great, but most games still require Windows.
If you already use Steam, you might be surprised by how many games are supported on Linux now. Lookup protondb.
According to protondb, only 40% of the top 1000 games work, or am I missing something?
40% are verified as at least playable on the steam deck. Another 40% seem to have no rating at all.
74% are at least gold tier in user ratings, which basically means they run fine.

That hasn’t been true for years.

If you can invest 30 bucks, crossover claims to make any windows app work seamlessly in linux. Otherwise, there’s still wine to cover 90% usecases.
Worst case, you can run windows in a VM.
Anti cheat forces most people to still run windows for a number of games
