Recently, i had to move from nixos to windows against my will simpy because of anti cheats. While i dont game that much, the few games i enjoy playing are all online with some kind of anti cheat. I used to dual boot but i was tired of having to wait for my slow hdd to load windows (i only have one ssd). I literally used linux for everything else but because of anti cheats i am forced to move to windows. I managed to make it a little better by using wsl2 and removing bloatware but it will never be the same as linux

    I don’t want to encourage Windows usage, but if you really need it you can buy a grey market license for $10-20.

      Sure, but I’m just pointing out that a “proper” official Windows license isn’t cheap.

      @fhein @CeeBee In the EU, you can sell used software licences afaik. I bought windows 10 a few times, really cheap. With office 2019, and one time with office 2021.
