    Not just that. Every windows update I have to go through the fucking setup screen. No I don’t want an office subscription, no I don’t want onedrive, no don’t tailor ads, no don’t collect telemetry.

      Disable this, there are a few others in that area you might consider disabling too

          Still can’t play most competitive fps games on Linux. There’s a couple, but the majority are still windows only.

          My reasoning is that it’s way too inconvenient to need to restart my pc multiple times a day if I want to play games. Add in that my audio solution doesn’t work at all on Linux (GoXLR) that requires me to use a separate set of peripherals and it just becomes less of a hassle to use windows over Linux.

              Anti-cheats block Linux. EAC theoretically supports it, but from what I can tell it’s a less secure option for both windows and Linux, ensuring a lot of devs never turn it on.

              Also idk what it is, but proton performance seems to be ~1/2-1/3 of what I get on native windows for pretty much every game. Had to give up on BG3 on Linux after I maxed out at ~40fps and huge stutters.

                Maybe we have different standards, but i am more than happy with 20-25 fps on low to medium settings.

                Also, most competetive games that i know run on very old machines without that much issues.

                  Destiny 2 explicitly says they’ll never support Linux. Same with CoD. Older competitive games run without issue. Newer ones done.

                  Minimum acceptable performance for me is 4k/120fps on medium/high settings. (I have a 3090)

                    You categorize those games as competetive? Interesting. But yes, publisher too lazy to implement eac for linux will always be a problem.

                    Also, fun fact, bungie was more than happy to make a destiny 2 port for stadia… which ran exclusively on linux.

                  20-25 fps is happy? That’s not suitable for fast paced games.

                  I’m sure there is, but after a few hours of trying to get it to work it wasn’t worth it anymore and no tweaking was necessary to make it work perfectly on windows.

                  This is the 3rd time I’ve had the same issue. Major fps drops in every game played. This has happened over multiple Distros and multiple years. I don’t enjoy having to spend hours configuring a game just to make it run 20% worse than if I just installed it on windows.

          Adobe software for creative work. Afaik there’s okay replacements, but not great ones. Also, migrating your Lightroom catalog to a new software is kinda a ridiculous task

      @lustrum

      They just keep getting worse and worse! I’ve decided to investigate whether one of the Linux distributions is able to be my daily driver. With everything being a web app these days, incompatibility with business programs I use is no longer an issue. The only question now is, are my peripherals compatible?
