I genuinely can’t wait for the day I can finally drop Windows altogether and boot directly in to steam os on my gaming pc’s / laptops and handhelds.

Windows becomes more of a bloated mess every update. Literally the only thing I use it for these days is launch games.

Bring it on Steam !

thats what i do already. what is missing for you on linux still? is it anticheat?

[–] Daelsky 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

For me yes. Many of my friends like to play Valorant which is probably the only game keeping me on Windows at the moment. I'd love the day when Anticheat is widely supported on Linux (won't happen because of privacy and sorts) so I guess I'll wait for when Valorant dies out lol

Most anticheats work fine on linux... its the kernel level ones that never work. And frankly you shouldnt want to run it on windows either..

i'm sorry for your loss. our hope is devices like the steam deck taking off even more and forcing their hand, the op article is a step forward.
