Recently, i had to move from nixos to windows against my will simpy because of anti cheats. While i dont game that much, the few games i enjoy playing are all online with some kind of anti cheat. I used to dual boot but i was tired of having to wait for my slow hdd to load windows (i only have one ssd). I literally used linux for everything else but because of anti cheats i am forced to move to windows. I managed to make it a little better by using wsl2 and removing bloatware but it will never be the same as linux

Don't be so spineless.

Plenty of games work without anti cheat on Linux and I only play them.

You just buckled under the tiniest amount of pressure, but you would have to pry Linux out of my cold dead hands.

Not sure why there are so many downvotes. Are there really that many people in here of all places who think gaming is just triple-A games from companies that don't respect their players and nothing else?

Edit: wording

It's actually pretty hard to fuck up your game that much that it doesn't work on Linux.

Many anti cheat even work under proton.

So yeah, just don't fucking buy shit games.
