    It’s legal and user pushback - and it’s a battle I’m bored of fighting. I just use Linux, and find it simpler. With Windows, it’s ads, forced updates, ‘upgrades’ that re-enable ‘features’ i never wanted, a billion background services, most of which I don’t need - and more.

    Fuck the battle to keep shit from being shoved down my throat.

      I still game a fair bit, and although gaming on Linux has come a long way, I unfortunately still find its not where I want it to be, yet.

      Hoping that the popularity of the Steam deck fixes that, although idk if AAA games are really targeting it

        Makes sense, everyone makes the trade-offs they’re willing to make.

        Next best thing to Linux is stripped windows installs like ghost spectre. I dual-boot, myself, but spend most of my time in Linux, with windows being a regrettable but useful occasional tool for gaming.

            Ghost Spectre has a few different distributions, at least one of which is minimally intrusive, and works with most if not all anti-cheat software.

            The guy’s site is weirdly organized, but he describes the tradeoffs of each distribution pretty well.
