    They lost a trial in this allnd paid a flick on the wrist.

    They just so this because they know it will get them more than it will cost.

    Install Linux, make the switch. Yes you can.

        I’ve used Mint for a couple of years now. Gaming has never been better on Linux. It’s not perfect and there are still a lot of issues with games that use intrusive anti cheat. It depends on what you like to play. COD type games you may have issues with but almost every single player game works these days. Some times it will require a little fiddling to be fair but generally it only takes 10 min to check what’s required. Protondb is your friend if you want a good idea of whether it will work before buying

        Get kubuntu or fedora. The desktop is KDE which feels a lot like windows but nicer and prettier.

        Gaming on Linux has never been easier OR better and it’s constantly improving.

        No you’re not. That was 5-10 years ago.

          How does stuff like DLSS or similar work with Proton? I remember reading once that it wasn’t a straight forward process. That was a few years ago though, I don’t know if it’s changed (or if I misunderstood what I read — always a possibility).

          I suppose it doesn’t matter much to me in the medium term, as I use mission-critical software while WFH, which is Windows only. But Linux-ifying my setup is something that always sounds appealing if I can get over the hurdles.

            I don’t know about DLSS specifically as I don’t have a Nvidia GPU but AMD FSR works fine as long as you use a somewhat new version of Proton. (And FSR isn’t limited to AMD GPUs)

        Valve has pretty much solved this issue for 99% of games. It used to be true, but not anymore.

            Yeah and you can’t play Zelda if you don’t have a Switch. Your 1% bullshit is kind of a ridiculous talking point, just saying.

              What? I’m just responding to the guy who claimed you can play 99% of games. I didn’t make it up myself as an accurate number.

                I think it is close to 75% actually. That does not change the fact that you pulled your anecdote out of your ass. There will always be some game on some system or OS that can’t be played. The Steam Deck offers by far the most and I don’t even own one so I have no stake in it.
