    I do play a lot of niche games I guess you could call them. Some of my favorite games that I have hundreds or even thousands of hours in don’t have but a few hundred players world wide.

    The thing is I want the confidence to know that I can buy any game and it will just work. My mods just work. It’s the ease of use I can get with windows I can’t get with Linux.

    I am no fan of Microsoft and I love supporting things like Linux but like most people I just want my shit to work when I get home. I have so little free time I don’t want to spend it learning the ins and outs of Linux.

      Understandable. For making sure games work I use protondb.com

      I haven’t had any problems modding games, even using external mod managers.

      For most people, a browser and some apps is enough, which linux is perfectly ready for. For most gamers, linux can run basically any game like native, and most niche games with some finagling.
