Fair point but my games only run on windows.
Try a little Proton. There's also Lutris. There hasn't been a game I own that I haven't been able to play on Linux.
Proton is amazing as long as you don't get bit by anticheat, which thankfully is getting better.
Thankfully I don't play many games with anticheat so almost the entirety of my game library runs on my Linux install.
Unfortunately, two of my most played games (R6:Siege and Cod MW2) can't run on linux, and last time I checked Visual Studio also.
visual studio is native on linux
Hmm, I can't seem to find it. Maybe you were thinking about Visual Studio Code? I know for sure that runs natively on linux.
yes actually. didnt realize there was another visual studio
Yeah, not that great of a naming convetion with that one. At least my servers still run linux, so I have somewhere to fall back to when windows gets on my nerves :-D
Don't play shit games.
No Linux, no buyno.
Yeah well, that's what happens when you have friends that play those games, and you like to get together with them.
You should try it sometime.
Subnautica multiplayer mod nitrox :( Ik its a reach to support but its literally the only thing holding me to windows
Same I just had this conversation last week with a coworker
Yeah, that sucks. I'm not much of a gamer myself. I know there are workarounds, but I probably would stay with Windows for games too if that was the case.
I’ll probably install a second SSD for Linux so I can dual boot for development.

Humorous, but I don't think that really applies here.
