It’s kinda funny you mention all those points to me, when I’ve been gaming on Linux for about 3 years now. I play on steam, use heroic for gog games, play a lot of modded D2… All in Linux. Saying that Microsoft treats backwards compatibility and support when they are forcing everyone to either pay for win10 support or join the win11 spyware mafia is a ludicrous statement btw.
Games with kernel-level anticheat do work on Linux, if the anticheat provider has done the work. Right now, most don’t and actively stopped supporting Linux so saying that won’t work ever is kind of a stretch.
“Isn’t good enough to replace windows” - here I am playing Modded games, path of exile, ffxiv, other FF games, cyberpunk, all PC monster Hunter games… Your statement is false.
I see nothing wrong with using a compatibility layer, it does the work of retrocompatibility alongside separating game environments, which is good for security.
You said that the kernel anticheat problem will never be solved, I challenged that, not that this is seen as a Linux problem for the end user or not.
I play all the games I want to play, no one wants to play all the games, there’s no physical time to do so.
Also, all of this is in the context of a tech savvy person. A tech savvy person can tweak almost all games to run properly nowadays… I do and I’m not THAT savvy.
