Micro$oft are being dicks again, film at 11 but here's the thing - if you're interested in customizing Windows - just grab that live distro and get to it man. Linux is here and it's ready for prime time.
At this point Windows is just for businesses who don't know better (or refuse to learn) and people who haven't been told The Good News yet.
This will be true when Linux supports anticheat (well, when anticheat supports Linux).
Sure, not everyone uses their computer for gaming, but I'm sure a lot would like the option.
It certainly does in many games. Helldivers 2, Hunt: Showdown, and Warframe are rated gold on Linux, Guild Wars 2 is rated platinum. Those are the first four multiplayer games that came to mind.
Those are all great games, but the unfortunate truth is that you're still going to be limited. Some people may be totally okay with only playing the games that get support but I feel like I'd always feel like I'm missing out if a game I'm really interested in doesnt.
only games you'll be missing is games with invasive kernal level drm/anticheat.
most people with common sense tend to avoid those games and their rootkits to begin with, so you're really missing nothing by switching.
Sometimes theres a game that doesnt run great at the moment but within 3-6 months runs like a dream.
