To be fair, it's not just a steam thing. My understanding of the situation is that chromium is dropping win7 support so anything using chromium will stop working on older operating system.

Fortunately this won't be my first dance with dual booting Linux, I've tried it a half dozen times since the late 90s, going as far back as multibooting booting slackware, nt4 and win98. I'm sure I'll go through a few distros before settling on one that works for me. I've also got 6 drives in my pc (2 nvme, 2 sata ssd and 2 HDD) so I have lots of room to play. One major thing for me is HDR support which is pretty new in Linux so I'm not sure where we stand on that.
All of the random BS it requires is a bit of a turn off but the 10ish percent drop in gaming performance is a no go. Linux with proton should outperform the os the games are designed to run on but here we are.
My steam deck has taught me that I'll be completely OK running linuxn(probably arch) as my daily driver with a win 11 dual boot (maybe just a vm?) for things that simply won't work on proton.
I read an article recently comparing w10 and w11 performance and the numbers were basically the same as this. No gamer should be running w11.
That's unregulated capitalism. You're describing capitalism, not fascism.
I only go for their higher end productivity mice so I can't say much about their gaming gear. It seems like gaming mice, regardless of the brand, typically have shorter lifespans. Either that or gamers are just more vocal when there are issues.
Only one ever died on me (brother spilled beer on it) and that was after 6ish years. The rest were upgrades to newer models. My current mouse (mx master) is coming up on 8 years and I'm debating between replacing the battery or getting a newer model but it still works as well as it ever has.
Ask a razer user if their mouse/keyboard last forever.
Except their mice are built better and last longer than any of the popular gaming brands. I've owned 4 logitech nice in my life and that would be every mouse I've owned since 1995 and only one of those actually died. People complain about their razer mice lasting 3 years and then go out and buy another one as if that's normal meanwhile you can easily get 5+ years out of a logitech mouse.
Yeah, I got a 14tb drive back in February and it's 90 percent full already. My media collection will always grow to fill the space available.

She believes both sides are equally corrupt and thinks this will prove it. She'd be wrong then something something deepstate.
