The Duff CEO with a Windows-Logo on his forehead: “Gamers use Windows because of its’ user experience not our de facto monopoly.”

Edit: Yo, I’m not saying this is gonna happen. I just want to say that Windew’s UX sucks ass.
How is gaming support on Linux “still garbage”?
90% of games work out of the box. No tweaks, just press play.
You have options for launchers, Steam, Heroic, Lutris…
I’ve dropped Windows about 8 years ago, and I missed on a couple of games, mostly due to the anticheat bullshit.
I even mod my games on Linux without issues.
There were more issues with gaming on Windows than issues I had on Linux.
It could be 99% of games and it wouldn’t matter if the remaining 1% are what people actually wanna play. Support for games outside of Steam is beyond the capabilities of most PC users. Most people don’t actually enjoy playing Troubleshooting Simulator.
I play games outside of Steam as well?
Wtf, those launchers play games without issues outside the Steam? What are you talking about?
And if that last 1% of games does crazy shit, it can stay on Windows. There is no need to fully support everything from Windows (down to exploits) on Linux.
Can I just go to gog.com, download The Witcher 3, click on the installer and have it install? Or do I have to configure some bullshit that’s beyond the capabilities of the regular user before I can do that? You seem to be completely disconnected from real people. Real people also don’t care about what kernel anticheat does and just want it to work.
I have played a game from GOG on Linux (Icewind Dale), it had Linux download, I opened it and the game played 100%, even multiplayer with non-Linux users.
Dunno about Witcher 3 specifically.
