Great for you! My only reasons to stay stuck with Windows are 1. anti-cheat and 2. niche programs that don't work correctly under Linux because they use several Windows programs in daisy-chain
Wondering how will F2P games with anti-cheat react to the news. Knowing that much of their player base may jump ship to Linux to avoid the subscription fees, will they relent and start using less invasive anti-cheat programs, or will they try to adapt specific versions of Wine / Proton to work in rooted mode?
I think an optimistic view would be 1% of their users jump ship…until they see their game isn’t available and they jump back
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
