the only reason why I still using windows is gaming. give me a platform where I can use steam and gog and I will not be touching windows ever again if not in a professional capacity.

Fuck subscription models

Lutris + Proton.

Baldur's Gate 3? Yep.

Cyberpunk with raytracing, DLSS, and mods? Yep (a bit of tinkering required)

I boot Windows only for Battlefield 2042 now, thanks to DICE's implementation of EAC

So basically, finally Linux time? I actually like Windows but I ain't putting up with that shit.

I can't imagine this is entirely true. I bet they will charge for advanced features

@billiam0202

Windows is nothing but a nightmare. It's privacy invasive, uses too much resources, breaks 24 7, has a boring UI, limited customization, more susceptible to viruses than any other OS, etc...

People should just switch over to Linux IMO.
