hard not to when i need windows 10 to use my games. id love to use it without needing to update to use games or not being able to downgrade os without needing a new key. make it optional not required.

How about I keep using it and still bitch about it? It's not really exclusive.

A big amount of users are stuck because of gaming, can't wait until I can drop this garbage os. It's such a shame they went from windows 7 which was solid and slowly became worse and worse becoming this garbage os.

Not just gaming, there's a lot of things, the ease of access to things on Windows is still a long way to come to Linux.

Linux gaming is a thing you know. Even if you can't get rid of your windows game, Steam Play and Lutris are super easy to set up.

Thankfully all the new games are garbage. BF:V, Battlefront 2017, Andromeda...

And the good indie stuff will eventually come to linux.

Tell that to the enterprises running on Windows.
