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

    You’re not the one with the attitude I take issue with. You didn’t call OP spineless for wanting to play games that only work on Windows.

      Sure, and I’m not arguing with you, merely giving a perspective that perhaps going with the group doesn’t always get you what you want. If you value using a given OS more than playing a certain set of games with friends, that’s an absolutely fine take. There are lots of options between the extremes of “don’t play MP games at all” and “only use Windows for gaming.”

      If you don’t want to play a specific game for some reason, don’t play that game, even if all of your friends try to force you to.
