I keep wanting to switch, but the fact you just said you still use windows for some things is enough for me to just stick with windows, until Linux can do everything windows can then I feel like constantly switching is more hassle than whatever improvements Linux provides
I installed Mint as dual boot over a year ago and the only reason I ever booted back was one game that didn’t run quite well enough. Of course depending on your wants and needs it may vary, but you won’t know until you give it a shot.
And to be fair I could not even get Valorant running on windows. I am guessing become of something like ShutUp10 or whatever it’s called. I did not bother with figuring it out. I’m on linux for a while now.
Hell yeah. I changed my main OS to Linux mint. First time on Linux, and I love it so far.
I only use Windows for stuff that Linux cant run yet.

The only thing holding me back is warzone which requires windows because of the anticheat.
All of my other games work better on a lightweight Linux install with proton compatibility than on Windows.
What specifically do you still need Windows for? It’s possible that you can get it all running under Proton.

Yeah, we’re not fond of giving ring 0 to BigShittyGameCo.

You’re getting downvoted by people, but your position is totally valid.
“Linux works perfectly for everything if you just don’t do the thing you want to do” is a less than compelling argument.
Not everyone considers granting kernel level access to untrustworthy entities a feature.

I was reading the thread thinking “well, it is a good argument” but kernel level access? no thanks.
