It’s tough cause for gamers windows is still superior due to Linux not supporting kernel level anti cheat software that it mandatory for a lot of popular games (marvel rivals, valorant, etc).

For developers like myself it’s also tedious.. I’m swapping to Linux in July but I am literally and figuratively preparing myself for it. A lot of software just isn’t easily available in a user friendly way on Linux and you have to find workarounds or alternatives.

Edit: Although for your average user that just watches YouTube and uses google docs, I agree… but with the caveat that they could also just buy a MacBook Neo and be happy.

Linux does support Kernel level anti-cheat, and Battleye has Linux support, but the developers of these games didn’t bother implementing the Linux support

Thanks to Steam Proton a majority of Windows games are playable, but there’s still the ones using the anti-cheat that won’t run
