2024 is the Year of Linux on the Desktop, at least for my boyfriend. He’s running Windows 7 right now, so I’ll be switching him to Ubuntu in a few days. Ubuntu was chosen because Proton is officially supported in Ubuntu.

      A win for whom? MS can better spy you on win10 and sell you ads. Maybe a win for the user because win10 is more secure then an outdated win7. But for a pure gamer who doesn’t want the MS BS, Linux slowly becomes a real good option. Gaming mostly just works and everything else you need is probably in the browser anyway.

        Pure gamer would choose a stable system that always works, has the latest working drivers and gives more fps.

        Gaming just works

        It doesn’t. Get out of your bubble, because spreading this false lie is bad for both beginners and veterans who have to deal with seeing this shit.

          Correction I can only tell about my personal experience and it mostly just works. Yes there are exceptions. But most games through steam or epic just work. I rarely have any issues with them. If you’re not much into competitive stuff, you’ll have s great time.
