Meanwhile, I've seen zero of these issues on windows 11.

Windows sucks, fuck Microsoft, but stories like this are insanely overblown. It remains the most compatible way to play games without hassle.

I'm rooting for Linux, though. Can't wait to switch once it's more widely accepted. Right now I just use it for a few specialized machines and purposes.

Inb4 downvotes and judgements from obnoxious Linux fans.

Bless your heart.... Never go into IT and for the love of all that is holy, don't get a system admin job... The world is a beautiful place until you're knees deep in the shit

Windows update managed to get a system I only use for gaming into an unrecoverable state a few months ago. I know a bunch of windows sysadmins, trust me, you've been lucky, stability this year specifically is dogshit.

Also bitlocker has multiple backdoors which is a problem for corporate that I really cannot overstate

I’ve been gaming on Linux for a bit now. I did just run into a series of games my group plays that all break Linux for the sake of kernel anticheat; which was unfortunate.

We may see that change with the popularity of the Steam Machine, but the boost will probably be smaller than the Deck.

I didn't downvote you (for a couple of reasons¹), but I just wanted to share my experience: I've been playing games exclusively on Linux for a couple of years now, and it generally works well. Of course it depends on what games you play, and so your mileage might vary, but in some cases I even had a better experience on Linux than on Windows. Mostly due to not having to deal with windows shenanigans. (drivers, reboots, the usual).

But I agree with you that these stories are indeed overblown. Current Windows, with all its problems and everything, is still much better than any previous Windows. I'd still avoid it if I could, and you need to do things to make it behave sanely...


[1] The reasons: the downvote is not meant to be a "I don't like this", nor "I don't agree with this", but should be used to signal bad comments: spam, trolls, noise... Plus, I don't think what you said is wrong.

As someone who is forced to use Windows for work, this is just not true. It is SO MUCH SLOWER than Windows 10 or 7

I completely agree. I had to "downgrade" to Windows 10 (I cannot have linux on that computer, sadly), because 11 had just so many simple bugs, that affected everyday use very badly. Everything works so much faster with 10, the taskbar shows all programs, no file pictures change sizes like a disco light, and I can even read the file names on the desktop. I have used most of the consumer Windows versions, and never before have I had such a broken interface, that just kept breaking in different ways every update. And these were not "early issues", this was last year.
