    I game a ton and the only missing games these days are malware. I simply don’t play those games.

    Daily use, however? Really? I have a completely ad-free easy to use experience, I actually give KDE to the elderly because it’s significantly easier to use for daily use outside of gaming.

    Most peoples usecases are limited and linux is legitimately just better for that, having ads in your start menu and file manager are terrible for people who don’t know what they’re doing.

      Considering most mmos don’t support Linux, as well as some games anticheat breaking seemingly randomly on updates, on top of the better performance for Nvidia gpus on windows is enough reason for a lot of people who game to stay with windows

        Only the ones that ship malware don’t work on linux.

        as well as some games anticheat breaking seemingly randomly on updates

        Yes, malware, kernel level anticheat is malware.

        on top of the better performance for Nvidia gpus

        This is almost completely resolved.

        I understand people want their malware, but we should call it what it is.

          Not denying kernal level anticheat is essentially malware but for games that require it you have no choice, even running them on virtual machines doesn’t work in some instances. The nvidia performance has improved but is still a decent difference depending on the games.

            The choice is to simply not play games that require malware, blocking this is a win for linux in my book
