I’d switch off windows but most of the games I play won’t work on Linux due to “anti cheat”.
Not judging, just curious.
What games are those? In the last 12 months I tried 151 games on Linux. All of them worked, only 6 required tinkering.
You must not play most of the top 5 fps games then lol.
Literally everything a "normal" gamer plays is not supported on linux.
Normal gamers don't just play FPS lol
That’s obviously not true
Obviously how? Who is a "normal" gamer?
Well it seems like you think only someone with your interests is. However, by any objective measure more people play FPS competitive games than any variety except sports games.
Objectively Roblox is on par, and has previously beaten steam: https://www.pcgamer.com/games/sim/roblox-had-more-concurrent-players-than-the-entirety-of-steam-over-the-weekend-as-it-reeled-in-over-45-million-users/
There is no PC game that has as many concurrent online players as the top game on roblox at any point.
You're objectively wrong.
Yeahh they do. 90% of kids with a ps5 wanna play bf6 and pubg etc type games. And if a normie even thinks of gamer they think of fortnite bf and cod.
We're talking about Windows vs Linux, not consoles. A normie will think of roblox, which blows all consoles as well as steam/EPIC/etc out of the water.
