The Duff CEO with a Windows-Logo on his forehead: “Gamers use Windows because of its’ user experience not our de facto monopoly.”

Edit: Yo, I’m not saying this is gonna happen. I just want to say that Windew’s UX sucks ass.

    How is gaming support on Linux “still garbage”?

    90% of games work out of the box. No tweaks, just press play.

    You have options for launchers, Steam, Heroic, Lutris…

    I’ve dropped Windows about 8 years ago, and I missed on a couple of games, mostly due to the anticheat bullshit.

    I even mod my games on Linux without issues.

    There were more issues with gaming on Windows than issues I had on Linux.

      It could be 99% of games and it wouldn’t matter if the remaining 1% are what people actually wanna play. Support for games outside of Steam is beyond the capabilities of most PC users. Most people don’t actually enjoy playing Troubleshooting Simulator.

        I play games outside of Steam as well?

        Wtf, those launchers play games without issues outside the Steam? What are you talking about?

        And if that last 1% of games does crazy shit, it can stay on Windows. There is no need to fully support everything from Windows (down to exploits) on Linux.
