Definitely I know, I'm just working with Adobe maybe to my own detriment haha.

I've also not followed anything on the gaming side, I heard it's way better than what it once was but still with windows I guess, I know I can just run anything I want and work with.

I also kind of wish Windows wasn't hell bent on making poor decisions, I don't know how they didn't start charging us with every version of Windows, I still got my Windows 8.1 key which I used until now, so that's the only "okay" thing about them.

Have I got a video for you :p

It truly is! In some cases (with AMD cards) it can even out-perform windows. For the most part most games just work without tweaking thanks to Proton being integrated into Steam, but unfortunately competitive online games with anti-cheat can be a no-go if the devs haven't enabled Linux support (still, even there we have some surprises, like Hunt Showdown enabling it).

Heh, I thought for sure that video was going to be pewdiepie complaining about the user-lock-in of adobe, where not only do they charge a subscription fee, but demand another fee to stop using it!

Adobe are a great example of a sodftware company to do a full exit from as soon as possible. Utterly vile abuse of its users.
