And PC gaming. Despite the massive amounts of improvement to Linux gaming thanks to Wine & Valve, if you play games that rely on kernel anticheat, you have no choice but Windows.
I'm hoping now that Microsoft seems like they might get serious about kicking people out of the kernel after the cloudstrike incident, kernel level anticheat may go away which will pave the way for Linux to completely take over.
It's crazy I have no issue playing games on my linux laptop now (sans anticheat).
I used to be a big windows fan but now I can barely even use my pc half the time SYSTEM is just churning disk reads/writes making everything slow or edge is secretly running in the background even though Ive closed it five times. The few games with anti-cheat are killing me right now as I'm fully linux on laptop/servers
I hope you're right!
