The way things are you can't get your cloud saves unless you bother their support. I have switched from Windows 10 to Linux as 10 was my last OS. I don't support the way that Microsoft has forced AI onto their devices and security issues with the co-pilot. Wanting gaming to work just as well on Linux as it does on Windows doesn't sound hard yet it is missing quite a few things that Windows did. Such as being able to have any store run or being able to have mods work without having to run the command line just to install a tool that then doesn't work just because I installed the game using a different app store and isn't explained anywhere. Like why does snap install steam in a completely different place than flatpack or yar or discovery. It has been a headache just to get to where I can find a mod then download a mod and have a mod manager know where to look to install the mod into the game and be able to play it. How the hell am I suppose to recommend using a Linux disto to others that want to leave Microsoft behind if things are like pulling teeth just to get the same functionality as the OS that they just left? Sorry for the rant it just sucks trying to switch as a gamer that likes to mod their games.
