    The only thing holding me back from diving headlong into Linux is gaming support. I’ve been a windows user since W98. XP was the shit, 7 was rock solid, ten was pretty good, but it seems like Microsoft is dead set on speedrunning enshittification with 11.

      True. Gaming is extremely awesome on Linux compared to a few years ago right now, though. Anti-cheat holding you back?

        No, I’m not big for online gaming, just heard that not all games that work on PC work on Linux, and I’m not sure about the status of various emulators that I use.

          I regularly watch stuff about Steam Deck on YouTube and they’re always emulating just about everything. I don’t know anything about the subject but it seems to me it works pretty well on Linux.

          Check out Protondb, it’s not only for the steamdeck, but (probably) all Linux derivates. You can sync your steam library to see, what works and how well.
