    When you don’t use windows for a few months, you’ll feel like that on first boot. ‘Oh, you haven’t used this program on your desktop in a while (lists entire desktop). You want me to clean it up into a folder, because you don’t use it anyway? I would also like to attend you to some urgent updates you need to install right now, and after that I have updates for your updates waiting, like 3 increments in a row with reboots each.’ And of course, during the chore of updating, Edge appears and becomes your default browser. Take that you dirty cheater!

      I have to use Edge at work and after a recent update it disabled the adblocking extension I used because “it might have been tampered with”. It also offered a nice Repair button which…uninstalled the extension completely.

      Edge is hostile to its users and should never ever be used.

    I started to get better 5 years ago. These days it’s at least 60-70% where Windows is with respect to gaming. According to protondb.com, 78% of the top 100 steam games (and 75% of the top 1000) are directly playable on linux with no or very little tweaking required.

      Actually except for one eac game (Hunt) I don’t have to switch anymore.

      Stellaris, Zomboid, Splitgate, …

      Though getting the best “quality” for some of the games was challenging (struggling with differing monitor Hz on X11 and nvidia)

          I am playing Hunt without any issues and no extra steps on Linux. Download, install, run.

          I even have more FPS compared to Windows.

        Windows is in the wrong, not Linux.

        reg.exe add HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\TimeZoneInformation /v RealTimeIsUniversal /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f
